Why buy them if the government is just going to pick them up and pull you out of your house??

[Spktyr]

1. Walmart may simply just be out of guns. This is the Globe reporting, and people *have* been buying a *lot* of guns.
2. If someone *did* decide to stop gun sales in those stores, I'm pretty sure it wasn't the top management, who have been staunch 2nd Amendment supporters. I suspect that this alleged decision would result in a number of managers looking for new jobs.

"Why can't we get along?"

Idiot.

Self defense isn't a legitimate reason? Hell, I like hunting and all, but self defense is far more legitimate than hunting because you're defending your life versus bludgeoning animals.

WOW! Back From The Dead!

Wal Mart blew this one.

who said police would protect them from any trouble.

Yes, they do such a good job during normal times so I'm sure they will do even better now.

Fool.

[fullchroma]

He said people who need guns for legitimate reasons, such as hunting, would not be buying now.

Since when is protection not a legitimate reason?

[BenLurkin]

Amazing how some people just don't get it.

'Why can't we get along? This is a time of crisis"

Yeah, say that to the machete-wielding looter who's breaking into your house. Some people are way too naive to be let loose in public.

[Fenris6]

"police would protect them from any trouble."

Darwin is laughing. In most cases, the police will show up just in time to draw chalk around your dead body.

And anyone who thinks the 2nd Ammendment is about hunting deserves to be gang-raped by thugs.

Muchos gracias Alberto Gonzales.

My guess is Alberto Gonzales had something to do with this, and Wal-Mart's record on the Second Amendment is hardly a sterling one anyway.

They are far better at peddling cheap foreign goods, made in Red China with slave labor, than with defending the rights of Americans.

[mcshot]

Perhaps Mr. White will help the Sandy Bergulars load up his families possessions to get along even better with the misunderstood who do this for a living, etc.. Now just what is his address so he can start right away.?

What the hell does he know? I'm not a goose hunter but I do think we have an early goose season coming up real soon here in Michigan. I assume Louisiana is the same as Michigan in the fact that some critters are open season year round.

From the article:

One mother came in to buy her first gun after she and her two children, ages 9 and 12, witnessed a slaying on the streets of New Orleans, said Scott Roe, Spillway's owner.

''Her comment was, 'I was a card-carrying, antigun liberal -- not anymore,' " Roe said. ''She said, 'I'm going back home, and I am not going back unarmed.' "

Smaller stores are eagerly filling the void. Spillway Sportsman, near Baton Rouge, sold 172 guns in one three-day period after the hurricane, when normally it might sell 15. One mother came in to buy her first gun after she and her two children, ages 9 and 12, witnessed a slaying on the streets of New Orleans, said Scott Roe, Spillway's owner. ''Her comment was, 'I was a card-carrying, antigun liberal -- not anymore,' " Roe said. ''She said, 'I'm going back home, and I am not going back unarmed.' "

And some people are finally wising up.

Hypothetically...
When Marshal Law was declared, the military, both Federal and state troops, started confiscating weapons from the civilians (I heard no distinction between hand guns for self defense or long guns, or between neighbor hoods).
If one of the purposed of the second amendment is to provide a means of resistance to federal intervention, how are the people suppose to both protect themselves and operate offensively?

[Towed_Jumper]

"...several customers, who said police would protect them from any trouble."

This is amazing. The mindset of sheeple even in the face of a cataclysmic breakdown in law and order is truly disturbing to people such as me. I can't fathom ever abdicating my responsibility to be my own first line of self defense and hand that over to "the authorities."

Those who rely on government in a crisis are at best going to be disappointed and at worst are going to be dead.
