It just takes ONE act of "god"/nature to destroy the thin veneer of society and rules and law that we all choose to live by.
It can happen anywhere.
When Hurricane Ike hit Houston, my area of town (near downtown and some iof the city's worst neighborhoods) was without power/electricity for 6-15 days straight.
That is 1-2 weeks without police protection, alarms ssytem working etc.
would have loved a gun then

Why should you ever be for 1-2 weeks without police protection and all the aid that you could possibly get, that's the main issue there no? Why would your government allow people to be in such a vulnerable position without enough help, when they can certainly afford it?
And, yes, there is a Pro-Gun movement and it's quite strong and it's sponsored by the gun industry. You have to be very naive to think there isn't. They're an industry, they wanna sell and they 'adverstise' in every way they can, you just need to google a bit to find out how many websites they are sponsoring.
In fact, a few years ago they had people voting here on the gun issue, the question was: should we just stop selling them 100%? In the beginning most people wanted them to be banned. Throughout the year ALL you could see in the metro, TV, magazines, internet were cheesy adverts inciting paranoia, so they ended up not being banned. The pro-gun people had more money to advertise because they were getting MILLIONS from the gun industry, the anti-guy people barely had anything interested in contributing.
So, there you go, don't say naive things.
