Food, water, ammo

Just been watching MSNBC's coverage of the hurricane Ike strike at Texas. They had on a Republican Congressman named Culberson with a white southern accent, who said, "We hope people have taken our advice and stocked up on plenty of food, water, and ammo."

Ammo?

What the hell do they need ammo for in a hurricane?

Oh, I get it. To keep the hords of Obama-like black looters from their doors, I guess.
