our verify researchers tracked down a bill signed in 2007 by then texas governor, rick perry. it specifically, the bill, stops police from being able to lawful owners during a natural disaster. like hurricane harvey. we can verify, false, it would be illegal for police officers to confiscate guns from the folks in texas during hurricane harvey. so why would they pass a bill like that? because when hurricane katrina hit new orleans in 2005, police going door to door checking on homes, they did ask some citizens to hand over their firearms. and as you might imagine, those people were not happy about it. so a bill similar to this one passed in texas was introduced in congress back in 2006, it died in a house committee. >> some of those links you see online, they just really want you to click on that. you see something, if it's a headline, you think it might be fake, we'll help you separate fact from fiction. send me an idea, send me a link at adamlongo tv. >> emergency officials here in the nation's capital are keeping a close eye on those rescue and houston. so, what are their p
