If anyone thinks the government will take care of them, look at New Orleans.
I'm not against the government (although sometimes it's good to not get all
the government you pay for) but they are pretty much powerless to protect
their citizens against looting, carjackings, rapes and robbery even in the
best of times, let alone when there is a national disaster. Makes sense to
be self-sufficient to some degree, including the ability to protect yourself
against the unsavory elements of out society.
