I would be a proud criminal

The bitter tale of the Katrina gun seizures is still fresh in the minds of many. A horrible abuse of so many rights, with no resulting punishment.

Because of a thread in a forum I go to I went to the State of Tennessee codes to see what may happen during an emergency in my state. I found something likely in the laws of many states.
Chapter 9
CIVIL EMERGENCIES
38-9-104. Restrictive orders
After proclamation of a civil emergency, the chief administrative officer may, at the officer's discretion, in the interest of public safety and welfare:
.....
(7) Order the discontinuance of selling, distributing, dispensing or giving away any firearms or ammunition of any character whatsoever
The idea that the state feels it can keep me from arming any relative or friend I desire with this law is humorous.

The day this 'order' goes into effect, is the day I become a very proud criminal.
