Feds To Restrict Volunteers At Disasters

Just another way the federal government is taking it upon themselves to hinder people from being able to take care of their own.

The story here...

In what the government claims as an effort to "provide better control and coordination", they are actually blocking citizens from doing what they can to help in dire situations. We all know that the government can protect us adequately from anything. I mean let's look at how well they handled Katrina or the last blackout. Having lived during the last blackout, let me tell you that there wasn't anyone knocking on our doors asking if everyone was alright after 3 straight days stranded with no electricity in the middle of the hottest week of the year.

Anyone who thinks that the government is going to be their sole protector and guardian from all disasters and evils in the world are doomed to fall on their ass sooner or later. Let me explain this to you easily. The adage call 911 and die was not created to insult the great men and women of our emergency services. It was born out of the fact that until they arrived unless you were capable of handling a situation yourself you were SOL, because emergency personal are rarely if ever going to show up seconds after you call.

In fact sometimes seconds isn't fast enough.

This is what I laugh about most when it comes to the anti-gun lobby in this country. They have an ambition to disarm every person except the criminals. It's not that they mean it to be this way, it's that they don't think outside of the box in any situation. They are the perfect example of sheep constituency. These people are convinced that as long as guns are in the hands of citizens, everyone is a victim, instead of thinking that as long as the guns are in the hands of criminals everyone is a victim. Just because you make something illegal, doesn't mean that it won't be done.

If a criminal has a motivation to kill someone, do you really think they are going to worry about the fine they might face for illegally having a firearm? Let's be serious now.

I have the up most respect for all of those who work to keep our streets safe and just but I also have enough common sense to know that "it takes a village" only works when a village is around.
