Typical tinfoil gun fetishist. Biggest storm ever recorded with winds of 185mph threatens to wipe out several countries, leaving people homeless, drowned and worse, they're looking at devastated infrastructure including months without electricity ..................... and what you're worried about is "protect the guns".
ASSHOLE.
Partly, but mostly it's about protecting the Constitution of the United States.
If true, one would think the governor of the Virgin Islands would have learned something from the results of the gun confiscation in New Orleans after Katrina.
Again --- the VI is unincorporated territory. It's not protected by the Constitution anyway.
Holy shit:
Here we go!
Article IVSection 3.
New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.
The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to prejudice any claims of the United States, or of any particular state.
A major issue early in the 20th century was whether the whole Constitution applied to the territories called insular areas by Congress. In a series of opinions by the Supreme Court of the United States, referred to as the Insular Cases, the Court ruled that territories belonged to, but were not part of the United States. Therefore, under the Territorial clause Congress had the power to determine which parts of the Constitution applied to the territories. These rulings have helped shape public opinion among Puerto Ricans during the ongoing debate over the commonwealth's political status.
Only CONGRESS has the power to suspend the 2nd and 3rd Amendments (similar to suspending Habeus Corpus for the States in wartime, aka the Civil War) NOT the territorial government itself. The Territorial Government is BOUND to the Constitution unless Congress itself explicitly suspends a particular constitutional provision.
If you can find a law from CONGRESS that suspends the Virgin Islands 2nd and 3rd Amendment Constitutional Rights, then you win shitface. I'll even vote "winner" on your post, likewise, if you can't, you vote "winner" on mine. I'll give you 168 hours (7 days) in case you have a real life and can't get back to me for some time.

Say, that guy doesn't look like he's gonna stand up real well under a 185mph wind.
Wait, I know -------------- give him a gun. That'll fix everything.
Isn't that right, Sociopath Asshole safely out of harm's way holding a load in his diapers about his own fetish for a population he has zero to do anything with, that's facing shit that just got real?
