Agree 100%SomeKid said:I would never give mine up for the sake of gun control.
Disagree 100%. As I mentioned in another post, hurricanes are unpredictable. You don't know if and where it is going to hit until about 2 - 3 days before hand. If Floridians ran around like chickens with their heads cut off every time a storm came near, nothing would get done in during hurricane season.I would never give mine up because the gov was unprepared. (Especially since I already paid for their preparedness.)
Preparing for a hurricane is very expensive. First of all, all the police officers have to look out for their own homes too (putting up shutters and evacuating their families). They have to buy the supplies just like everyone else (unless they are looting them afterwards ). Then they have to worry about mandatory evacuations and all the complications that come with it. This includes traffic control, the inevitable accidents, and shutting down the city. Another aspect is pleading and begging with the people to leave. Finally, theyhave to take down the names of those who chose to stay to notify their next of kin and have a tally for search and rescue. If you think stocking up on weapons is their highest priority, you are sadyl mistaken. Their first thought is not "We had better arm up in case we run out of guns and ammo". Their first priority is the saftey of the citizens. Besides, the police station and armory is probably flooded as well.
Maybe I would lend some guns in restrospect. I would definately lend ammo since I have a pretty good supply.
