U.S. Governor RENEWS Gun Seizure Order

U.S. Virgin Islands Gov. Kenneth Mapp renewed a highly controversial
 executive order in January that allows the National Guard to seize arms
 from everyday civilians.

The executive order Mapp extended on Jan. 2 was first issued in September. 
The order declares that the U.S. Virgin Islands is in a “state of emergency” 
and gives the adjunct general power “that may be required by the military
 forces for the performance of this emergency mission.”

Mapp told The Daily Caller in a December 2017 phone interview that the
 national guard is “not authorized to take arms and munitions from civilians,” 
and said those that continue to think the order authorized that power are
 being “foolish.” While Mapp continues to make the same assertion when 
questioned about the order, the language of the text explicitly authorizes the 
seizure of arms and ammunition.

The governor said in the Jan. 2 order that the nation is still in a state of 
emergency following the devastation brought on from Hurricanes Irma and 
Maria. The order also says that the “state of emergency declared effective
 12:01 a.m. on Sept. 5, 2017  is hereby renewed, and such State
 of Emergency, along with all terms previously declared in the order.” That
 would include the language authorizing the seizure of arms, ammunition and
 other property.
