U.S. House Passes Gun Confiscation Prohibition

Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed "The Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act" by a margin of 322-99. I honestly don't see how 99 of our esteemed Representatives can get away with voting against this.

This is similar to, but farther reaching than, the Homeland Security scoped legislation passed earlier. It prohibits gun confiscation from otherwise legal citizens during a national emergency similar to what occurred during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The new limitation would apply to federal law enforcement, military officers, and local police that receive federal funds. Many states (including Ohio) are considering similar legislation for statewide prohibition.
