People across New Orleans are arming themselves — not only against the possibility of another storm bringing anarchy, but against the violence that has engulfed the metropolitan area in the 19 months since Katrina, making New Orleans the nation's murder capital.
Good. I just hope they never let anyone disarm them again the next time.
I do have a beef with this. Vivian admits she's a new gun owner. I doubt the AP photographer knows much about them. I know her finger's off the trigger, but especially considering the inexperience of all involved, this story's feature photo belongs over at Xavier's.
I also gotta wonder how many of these new gun evangelicals will continue to support politicians that hate RKBA.

ReplyDeleteThat's "lesson", "neighbors", and "dared".
Proofreading is my friend...
They haven't. They will continue to vote for the people who placed them at danger and showed utter contempt for their rights and lives, because those are the people that tell them the prettiest lies.
