Instapundit.com: Hurricane Katrina prompts growth in gun ownership

Instapundit.com: Hurricane Katrina prompts growth in gun ownership:

Reader Sean Malloy emails that a different NPR story led him to join the NRA some years ago:

> In 1999 or so, NPR ran a story about an armed gang of about 30 men in Bosnia rounding up all the military-aged men/boys in a village and executing them in their village square. About 300 were killed.
>
> The thought "it would take a whole lot more than 30 men to kill 300 villagers in an armed society" occurred to me, and I joined the NRA that evening.
>
> NPR execs would have puppies if they knew.

I like puppies.

Heh.

Soon as I come of age, I want a gun.

I saw your baby. Inspiring beauty, concealing evil brutality. I even dreamt of it.

See this BBC Search. The Brazilians polled on it, and I saw their point on TV.

Look at it this way:
You have a gun for the same reason you have fists. No?

If the guy who wants to hurt you has a gun, get one! If he had only fists, you'd not need a gun.

Gets guns, everyone!

Bishop Desmond Tutu put it like this:
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

If you are not neutral, the elephant will not appreciate your non-neutrality.
