It’s fair to wonder about the competency of an administration of an island in the Caribbean that is so unprepared to experience a hurricane it needs to seize firearms from citizens in order to equip its troops. It’s also fair to wonder about the character of those who would strong-arm that citizenry into defenselessness at the very time they will need protection the most, and at a time when the “authorities” will have their hands more than full and vast areas will be left on their own for an indeterminate period.

Some years' back I worked some jobs in the U.S. Virgin Islands ( St. Croix in particular ) post a hurricane. It was common knowledge in St. Croix an Asian shopping/service complex used firearms to defend their businesses form the "druggies' driven from their forest huts . My hotel night clerk carried a very nice Python . Even then there was an armed robbery at a local country club. Myself and a co-worker were ( unsuccessfully ) assaulted on a street in St. Croix. after venturing out for dinner ! My experience makes me wonder just who this edict is intended to protect ?
The National Guard in the US Virgins doesn't need the weapons held by civilians. The governor simply wants them disarmed.
