Levees have been deliverately sabotaged in the past by our government...this new issue could very well be on their agenda to collapse the rest of our economy and bring forth a future tragedy that will enable them to call marshall law into order. Something they are just dying to achieve and to bring about the new american era...the North American Union and the Amero.

Don't allow "officials" to take your guns unless it's from a dead hand unloading all it can into your target of the agents of satan. A gun is a GOD given right - defend yourself.
