Are New Yorkers more likely to be unarmed victims to looters?

I know after Katrina, the New Orleans government confiscated guns, leaving 
residents prey to looters, without being able to defend themselves.

But in New York, with its absolutely anti-gun culture, were these people even 
inclined or allowed to own guns in the first place?

Are they totally at the mercy of looters now?

And there are reports of gangs breaking through the roof of a liquor store 
and unloading cases of goods to their friends below, as the police stood 
there and watched. Arent the police and National Guard supposed to be out 
protecting people from looting, and arresting, even shooting looters?

Seems like things are getting more desperate by the day there, as it could be 
weeks or months until power and civil society is restored.

"A local supermarket had been looted, a local pharmacy had been ransacked, 
and then there were the gangs.

�They said they have received several calls from members of the church who 
had boarded themselves in their own apartments and are afraid to come out 
because of these roving gangs of kids, which are now already being named 
�wolf packs,�� Glenn Beck explained on his show this morning. �They�re 
terrorizing the neighborhood.�"
