What a great idea!!

Damn linc, that's a very good point of view. Another reason why looting is at a bare minimum during a natural disaster here in Texas, even when the national guard and army haven't made it there yet: most of the locals are armed and Texas has a little gem of law called the Castle Bill, like some other states also do. Even the women folk are practitioners of this bill, as evidenced by a lady who shot dead an armed intruder in here home. Brings a tear to my eye...

Goes back to a major point in this debate: if you take the right to bear arms away from law abiding people, the ones who end up with the weapons are the bad guys (of course) and a government who governs over an unarmed population. And this same government will soon evolve into using threat of force to keep everybody in line.
