...confiscation, removal, or mandatory surrender of non-smart guns.

As much as it may make sense to those who don't think there's any value in the Second Amendment;

Who don't think that people should be able to chose their own home self-defense tools;

Who must think that even in natural disasters people shouldn't be able to protect themselves....

Well, how selfish of the rest of us to not trust them!
