With the full extent of the damage inflicted upon New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina just now becoming evident, and Hurricane Rita promising something similar for the Texas Coast, I hear that sales in the retail gun business of guns and ammunition are brisk. The promise that government, at any level, will provide people with meaningful protection is now seen as a hollow myth by an ever more nervous citizenry. Perhaps the Second Amendment is finally emerging in the minds of Americans as something more important that it has been in the idyllic past? If New Orleans has shown us anything, it's that "anarchy" is only a few missed meals away.
