"A gun owner is a liberal who has been mugged"

One mother came in to buy her first gun after she and her two children, ages 9 and 12, witnessed a slaying on the streets of New Orleans, said Scott Roe, Spillway's owner.
''Her comment was, 'I was a card-carrying, antigun liberal -- not anymore,' " Roe said. ''She said, 'I'm going back home, and I am not going back unarmed.' "

The main point of the story is how Wal-Mart has stopped selling guns to people in the region hit by Hurricane Katrina.
