Re: Why there wasn\'t looying after Rita pic

I know everyone here is getting a kick out of this. I did too.

Here is a sobering thought, though. Does anyone really think our mainstream media is gonna give any coverage whatsoever to legal gunowners preventing looting after a hurricane?

Maybe they would or wouldn't, who knows, while it is a funny picture, I am concerned. Is that the way we want ourselves depicted as gun owners and hunters, a bunch of rednecks standing around holding shotguns, rifles and pistols, with beer cans in our hands ready to pop a shot. Thats not the way I want myself depicted, that picture alone could set the gun lobby back a hundred fold while giving more fuel to the anti-gun crowd, that pic is what every anti-gun legislator wants to see and what every UNINFORMED anti-gun citizen already sees us as. Do we really want to depict ourselves the way they see us? Just a thought.

Slugshooter makes an excellent point I think we all should consider.

or, it may be positively noted from that very picture that it is not the police, but the well armed "militia", that will acturally stop the looting and crime. especially now that it is cobfirmed that it is/was a lot of uniformed police doing the actual looting in lousiana. let the picture speak...
