This is quite a phenomenon since all the footege of the looters in NO ran endlessly on the MSM.
My niece and nephew in Florida, boomer peaceniks, went out and bought their first guns last month, and have been down at the firing range learning how to use them. They are well-off, and have a lot of property to protect. Never thought I'd see the day that they would arm themselves.
MSM are probably sorry now that they showed the chaos in New Orleans 24/7 for two weeks. It opened a lot of eyes of former no-gun people.
They'll never put that genie back in the bottle.
Bingo! Nice anecdote.
The old saw is that a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged. I think the post-Katrina coverage created virtual muggings for a lot of liberals.
