Technically, this action is not unconstitutional.

After Irma is done they'll need to change the name of the Islands anyway because they are about to get screwed.

The men grabbing guns during Katrina were private contractors for the most part.

The guys that tried to jack my boat were sheriff deputies from Terebonne parish. Had no troubles from contractors.

Sadly this is true. Our government provides military protection and other benefits to the Virgin Islands, however they have their own government and legal system..so they do have the right to do it. I have several friends down there on both St. Croix and St. Thomas and they apparently accept and love the island life. For the most part it appears they were spared a direct hit but it is still bad down there.

Crooked LE in Louisiana? I would have never guessed.

Yes, borrowing. By their national guard at gun point by edict without giving you a receipt for ammo count or weapon.

I wonder how they will feel when people start "donating" ammunition one round at a time.
