From Kevin at The Smallest Minority:
According to Outdoor Life:
We just got a call from Devline Rossell, a charter captain based out of Venice Louisiana. He was shopping in New Orleans to get some supplies before the arrival of Gustav (currently listed as a tropical storm that has left at least 22 dead in the Caribbean) and reported that the item most in demand was not food, clothing or shelter.
“I just left a sporting goods store and you would think that the number-one selling item would be plywood or potable water or gasoline right now,” he said. “Apparently it is AR-15s and .223 ammo. I watched at least 20 people buy AR-15s and cases of .223.”
I drove a truck full of relief supplies down to “Nawlins” less than a week after Katrina hit. Ended up sleeping in an empty doctor’s office overnight. I’ll tell you one thing – I was sure glad I had my .45 and a shotgun with me.
Looks like some people learned a lesson from Katrina. We’ll see if Ray Nagin and his goons learned their lesson.
