THat whole mandatory evacuation thing bothered me. I’m not sure it’s legal. If a person want’s to stay in their home it’s their right — regardless. Unless you can prove they are mentally unable to make that determination.

The gun confiscation was wrong too.

I’m not sure I totally agree. There are times when the best policy is that everyone leaves. Having some people stay means that we have to spend enormous resources and risk lives later to go get them and/or have more law enforcement on the ground to ensure those areas are not being looted by people who have stayed behind. There are some, extremely limited, circumstances, where the government can say everyone needs to get out of the way.
