To a limited extent, but consider the possibility of something that dwarfs Katrina, and one that hits without any forewarning…it could get very, very ugly and we will see exactly what it means to have that many weapons in the hands of that many unstable people.

And it assumes that order would be restored afterwards. If an especially nasty racial conflict broke out that way (it could happen via attacks by any group upon another, it would’d have to be white attacking black), there’d likely be a number of white victims as well and the bad blood might be enough as to be unquellable. Situations like that have engulfed even calm regions in bloodbath, often because once enough damage is done, the side that’s done it feels that in order to preclude revenge attacks they have to fully ethnically cleanse the area.
