No, there is no federal prohibition, but the NRA has helped at the state level in multiple states to get such legislation passed.

Just because it's a law I will hold my breath til the next time they have a major disaster and start trying to disarm people,There are hundreds of federal laws on the books they tend to ignore on a regular basis

That's what threw me for a loop, I've seen several states enact legislation prohibiting the confiscation of arms during a state of emergency etc. but that's probably just to beef up laws at the sate level to supplement the laws at the Federal level.

We too should remember that the constitutions of about 42 states and of course the US constitution guarentee the right to bear arms. These rights aren't invalidated simply because of a natural disaster. Could you imagine the repercussions had the police told the citizens they couldn't pray or read newspapers due to a hurricane?

There is a distinction between "carrying " vs "not confiscating".
Here, they passed a state law that does not allow them to bar "carrying " either for protection except in certain situations.
