It not only CAN, IT DID.

[2HOW]

No it cant, virtually every state made it illegal for any type of confiscation during an emergency or catastrophic event.

[twyacht]

perhaps the old lady with a .38 that was literally "roughed up" that went viral on youtube, will refresh your memory. Or the N.O. Police Chief saying all guns will be out of the city except by Police and NG.

Or the court case they just lost last year, by the city, and the guns that were confiscated "mysteriously disappeared"...

New Orleans Mayor Finally Admits Illegal Gun Confiscation, Settles With NRA
 
Friday, October 10, 2008
 

After a three-year legal battle over the unconstitutional confiscation of lawfully owned firearms during Hurricane Katrina, this week, the City of New Orleans agreed to settle a lawsuit initiated by NRA.  A permanent injunction has been issued against the city, Mayor Ray Nagin, and current Police Chief Warren Riley.  The Second Amendment Foundation assisted NRA in the legal battle against Mayor Ray Nagin and the City of New Orleans.

"This is an important victory for the citizens of New Orleans and the Second Amendment," said Wayne LaPierre, NRA's executive vice president. "We fought for three long years in a fundamental legal challenge to assert the inherent self-defense rights for law-abiding citizens, knowing the Constitution would prevail. Today it has prevailed and freedom has won."

Judge Carl J. Barbier presided over the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Judge Barbier signed the permanent injuncation against the City of New Orleans. The city admitted the firearm confiscations carried out by Nagin and Riley were unconstitutional and illegal.

The hell it won't.
It already did in that town ( Greenville ? ) in Kansas that had the hurricane a year or 2 ago.
It CAN happen, and it WILL happen until citizens get the nads to  MAKE it stop.
But most citizens are to lazy and cowardly to have principles, it might make them miss the latest episode of "Lost"

Well I know they passed it here in California and the Terminator signed it, but I sure wouldn't put it passed them to try it when the San Andreas acts up.

Really, wouldn't we all say that it was illegal before Katrina too? I mean even if the only laws that you knew were the Bill of Rights.

Bingo!

Not to mention there were no warrents that allowed them to go into those homes.

I'm with Tom on this one.  The reality is that a law can only protect you after an event happens.  Laws do NOT prevent things from happening.  People who don't care about the law go ahead and do the unlawful act and let it get sorted out after-the-fact.

It was Greensburg KS and it was a tornado that flattened pretty much the entire town.
