Wapitirod and S4s4u nailed it! Folks don't realize their hunting rifle is just farther down on the list. There are still many people in this country who don't know that LEOs went door to door confiscating law abiding citizens guns during Hurricane Katrina. I can't think of a time in recent history when people needed their guns more.

Experience is the best teacher, hunger good sauce.
