"Our citizens need to be prepared with food, water, and ammo ....."

[Stinky The Clown]

So intoned congressman John Culberson (R-TX7) in an interview on MSNBC.

1. Look on the bright side...might be a lot of Darwin Award winners by Monday morning

2. Sound advice!

Hey even a Repug can be right now and then. :D

3. Didn't the bu$h maladministration seize gun in NO? I swear I read accounts on the

internets from people who had their guns seized, in fact I know I did. And some of them were waiting weeks or more to recover their guns from the government.

[The Straight Story]

4. I'd say that is a good idea in general

Whether for fear of attacks, natural disaster's, etc and so on - keeping enough around to be self sufficient for a stretch is not a bad idea. Especially with things like ammo which ya can't grow :)

6. That's One of the Nice Things About a Bow and Arrows

Arrows are good for more than one shot, usually, and you can make your own if you have to.

5. This is Texas

so you can be damn sure they already have the ammo! :evilgrin:

Signed,

A Texan living in that little blue spot in the south-central part of the state
And without ammo, natch

7. Culberson is a Tom Delay Protege

Think Tom Delay, without the brains.....

[io-solip]

9. That is like thinking of a fish without its bicycle.

:shrug:

[Lint Head]

8. I need all of that to protect me and my family form pricks likes this. :dem:

10. I think if people choose to stay in a hurricane, they certainly should not expect help for a while.

Even with a mandatory evacuation, I don't see how you can get everyone to leave. But I don't think police and fire/rescue need to endanger their own lives rescuing anyone foolish enough to stay. Not until the storm has passed at least.
