re: Riots In the South? Could it happen?

New Orleans has seen riots many times. We've seen quite a bit of violence in Memphis recently. The reason riots in the south have rarely gotten out of hand, like we see in Baltimore, is our lax gun laws. In Baltimore, the rioters knew that once the police "gave them space", they could essentially rape, pillage, and burn at will due to the fact that Maryland's strict gun control laws ensured local business owners and citizens were unarmed. In Louisiana, that certainly would not be the case.

gun laws in missouri are pretty lax. So your point isn't solid.
