How is this a crisis?
Since when was a case of people exercising their constitutional rights a crisis? Sheesh.
An INVENTORY crisis for the firearms retailers.
GULF COAST CRISIS: FOOD PURCHASES Fearful Southerners buy food and water at torrid pace
BATON ROUGE, La. -- Dehydrated food and bottled water sales across the South boomed after the first reports surfaced of starving citizens roaming the streets of New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. And images of hungry and thirsty children only elevated fears in some communities.
Now, as hundreds of thousands of people displaced from their homes are being resettled, grocery store owners say they're being flooded by a demand for food and water--particularly in Southern states and others where many of the hurricane victims are being relocated.
Mostly, they say, the demand is being fueled by "good people" wanting to protect their families and property. That includes some who might not otherwise purchase food, they add.
A shortage on firearms? Just guessing...;-)
