I'd invoke my emergency powers, it comes in various powers, all rated in caliber and millimeter.

Speaking of which, I hope all Galvestonians have enough sense to take their firearms with as they go. I'd hate for ATF to steal them all.

Is emptying an entire city by force after the disaster unprecedented?
