To me this is a very serious development--I just saw these four things on the national news (wasn't paying attention to what newwork):
1. I think it was an older woman who was showing a pistol, or pulling one from a drawer--anyway she was thrown to the floor by police or military.
2. The police chief, Compass, said his force would take firearms from people, no were allowed firearms--no reference to if they were owned legally...
3. Police, or military (couldn't tell), go into a fairly well off house and find two or three people. They detain the people, who were armed. They release the people, but confisate there firearms.
4. A quick interview with what appeared to be a National Guardsman--he was uncomforable patrolling US streets. Would he take lawfully owned firearms--most likely?
So, it appears that whatever polical posturing the NRA and others have done for gun owners is null and void in these situations...
