People Are Idiots

[CFH]

Ever care to have an intimate discussion with a bear thats become a town bear(ie not afraid of humans anymore)
Tell your next of kin to tell me how that worked out for you

I guess it's a good thing we don't have bears in Canada then, with our gun-control laws we'd be fucked.

haha was one sittin' on our back deck not but a month ago...chowing on our garbage can. I swear the thing looked at me when I opened the blinds as if to say..."Hey man...there's lots! Want some? I got dibs on the ham hock tho..."

And it didn't kill you because we have gun control laws? . I'm shocked .

What kin of bear was it?
We have a ton of black bears on the island, only 1 report of any grizzlies though.

I had to deal with a ton of them during the dig this summer, but they were all scared of us, thank God. I surprised one from about 20-30 feet away, but thankfully it took off.

Black bear. We got loads of em here. Someone bagged a world or canadian record big one not long ago with his chevy. You guys I think pretty much got the market cornered on grizzlies.

Interesting,you also have tons of guns now dont you? At a rate of 31.5 guns per 100 residents.
And theres a difference between a black bear that hasnt had much contact with humans,they run for it,and one that starts living off of humans. I have an 8 year old of my own, and dont particularly feel like waiting for the rangers to shoot the bear(which is what they'll do anyway) if theres a confontration.
And theres also a difference between owning a gun in a locked case in the storeroom thats double trigger locked,with the ammo in a seperate room,then say having one hanging on a wall.Or walking around every day with a .44 strapped to your waist.
The brush you paint with,is a wee bit on the broad side,and the swatch you paint isnt accurate either.

[BoxingGorilla]

Im sure youve heard about the 8 year old who shot his dad and a boarder at their house.
The prosecution,is trying to get the kid tried as an adult,saying he "meticulously plotted and planned the murder"
My son is 8 years old

What if I told you the child's name is Stewie Griffin.

But we have gun control laws, how it that possible? That was your original point, remember: Gun control is a bad thing because of bears.

FWIW The bear Youngblood was talking about was clearly used to human contact, as are the ones around here, but that doesn't mean we should allow pretty much any idiot to own a firearm, especially hand guns.

Your last sentence doesn't make any sense, but that's not unusual with you.

No,that wasnt my point,your original point was to say you have gun control laws that make it imposable to own a gun.....
You dont,Canada has plenty of guns
A .22 rifle in both Canada and the US can be bought without a backround check. Its a hunting weapon.
Im all for reasonable gun control laws,the general public should probably not be allowed to own M-16's. There should be waiting periods even for hunting weapons(this will cause the NRA nuts to have a fit) if you need a gun sooner then 24 hours,I probably dont want you having one,because you have an agenda. I fully support backround checks for concealed weapons permits.
But for you to take a high and mighty perch of "We dont have guns,we have gun control laws" is BS,you rank 6th in the world in per citizen gun ownership. Dont get on a high horse if you cant stay there.

[Trainer Monkey]

And to further the point,any idiot can do alot of damage with a knife,a bow and arrow,a large rock, fireworks, industrial strength cleaners, a needle and thread.
How much do we ask the government to regulate?
A gun is strictly a tool for wildlife control and target practice. A hammer is a tool to put nails in,or bash someones freaking head in,in the wrong hands.
As far as Bears,the bear Youngblood saw will probably be back around and get bolder all the time.
Unless of course the local game commission shoots it,which they will probably end up doing eventually,you know,with a gun and everything

I never said we couldn't own guns here, I said we had gun control laws, which we do. My uncle has enough guns to equip a small South American army. I'm well aware that we have very high per capita gun ownership (I've seen that Michael Moore movie too), yet somehow we don't go around killing each other with them at a frantic pace like you guys do.

All I did originally was poke fun at the reasons you guys felt the need to legalize near-universal gun ownership and you starting rambling about bears.

But thanks for reminding me why I, like almost everyone else who's been here for any length of time, ignores your inane posts. Apparently I'd forgotten why I did that, but I'll go back to doing it now, thanks for the reminder.

When and where did I say gun ownership should be universal?
Please find that exact quote,you condescending douche
I'll sit here and wait,because you wont find it.
And speaking of being a condescending douche,why is it that Canadians assume that just because we have a gun,we have a little shrine set up to Charlton Heston and the NRA. I went most of my life without owning a gun,or even allowing one in to my house,until I condescending douche moved in to a region where the wild life can get a little frisky. And thats the only reason I own a condescending douche gun in the first place.
And speaking of being an a-hole,spread some rep around so you can condescending douche neg rep me again,you puffed up little twat.

We get bears around here ALL the time. Rarely ever heard of one being shot. Haven't heard of anyone getting bit or eaten by one either. I've seen dozens personally..heck more then dozens...if we consider the city garbage dump near night fall where with flashlights it is tradition to go chase them around. (ya, it's stupid...no need comment on that part)

They even have a sign up, worded something like..."Danger: Don't pester the bears! Or you will be prosecuted for trespassing..."

We trap them and take em out to the woods. If they come back...we take em out a bit further. Kinda simple, actually.

Sorry,I live in a rural area,and Id kind of like to handle it myself if it comes up.
Im not going hunting for them,but if it comes up,I want to be able to handle my own buisness on the spot, rather then ask the rangers if theyd kindly remove my kid from the black bear

Like Im going to pull my gun on anyone,I dont even fire the thing. Like I said,which has been roundly ignored,its double trigger locked and in my storage room. Its only a tool for wildlife managment. Stop trying to paint me like Im an NRA member,because I hate the NRA with a passion. I said before,Im all for reasonable gun control.
The original point was "Why even have a gun"
Well I responded there are legitimate reasons to own a firearm. Now suddenly Im the NRA member.
Not bloody likely. I own one gun, and for one reason.
The only animals Ive even killed in the last ten years, was two worriesome raccoons,and that was with a bow.
Sorry,your both barking up the wrong tree,Im not a gun nut,and I dont hunt,and even though legally I could have one,I dont own a pistol.

Well I didn't call you anything. Could care less what you position is on guns. I just like talking about bears, becuz I personally know a bit about them...

I think the big thing about this was that the kid shot not one person, but two people. Even though he didn't plan it out, there's obviously a serious screw loose whereby he would turn the gun on someone and fire AFTER HE ALREADY shot someone else. He definately should not be tried as an adult because he is too young and his mind is still developing, but nonetheless, you don't just throw this kid in juve for a few years. His being only eight doesn't change the fact that he is quite possibly ill (yes, children can be crazy too). This kid needs tons of psychological help.
