I know that guns were banned during Katrina in LA. I don't like the laws. One of the only stores, if not the only store, that was not looted during Katrina was the one that was guarded, until the police took their guns, by it's owner.
It seems contradcitory to me that we have the constitution that grants us rights yet we have laws that remove those rights during circumstances when we are in the most need of exercising those rights.
I didn't hear a single story of gun toting gangs running around looting like something out of Mad Max. I've heard several stories of legal gun owners being disarmed just because they possessed guns during the cleanup or stook guard at their business while armed.
