This past March 7, the National Guard in South Carolina performed door-to-door ‘wellness checks’ in an state-wide drill entitled Operation Vigilant Guard. The stated purpose was to prep for a Category 4 hurricane disaster.
Overall, around 2,000 military personnel and 5,000 persons from the South Carolina emergency management divisions participated.
This certainly harkens back to Hurricane Katrina disaster, where the National Guard and local law enforcement confiscated guns door-to-door.

Did we all forget the national guard is state controlled not federally.
Brett Currier, what do you think cuz?
Ha. Being a part of the national guard in NJ, I can say most of the comments here are just out of ignorance. Mostly ignorance to the jobs we have. In the case of emergency, coupled with police EMS and fire fighters, we may be called on by the governer to check on the welfare of the citizens in the direct footprint of the disaster. Natural disasters mean we wouldn’t even be armed. Half of the time we train, we don’t even have weapons. If you really think this is smoke and mirrors to take your guns, you are misinformed. And, speaking as a firm believer in the 2nd amendment, if you think myself and my fellow grunts would even actually ever take part in the disarming of our state than you are even MORE misinformed
Keeping in mind there is no authority, nor ever talk of entering a persons house without consent. And furthermore, my unit has no contact with any neighborhoods to begin with. We train at ft dix
I would tell the state militia to get the f*ck off my land.
They also kick doors and take granny’s guns.
Amen Bro, most people forget what the majority of military members are: Gun loving, freedom loving, America loving guys with kids and families, most of which live right in your neighborhoods .. We would never March around OUR neighborhoods and your guns .. Ridiculous
Bingo AJ
Not at all. Only liberals are afraid and enjoy being a victim.
This anchor is an idiot.. If you ever believe the military is gonna become any type of ‘firing squad’ against citizens then your an idiot too.
