The right to bare arms against armed bears  |
| |
| Many here will know that I am vehemently opposed to the concept of the private right to bear arms - which I am disappointed to learn in the US does not include F-16 fighters, bazookas or missiles but is limited to relatively puny hand weapons. I am always keen to read more about the subject as I really do struggle with the wording of the Second Amendment which reads that it relates to freedom from potential tyranny and is interpreted as allowing self defence from the passing homicidal burglar etc. But that is not my question, simply the preamble. There is a thread on the BBC news site about open weapon carrying in Wisconsin which has descended predictably into name calling - my country's better than yours etc - and offers little in the way new perspectives. However, two people have come up with comments that amused me: Firstly, from the UK, maybe there should "the right to arm bears" and secondly from the US "the right to bare arms"! Would you go hunting if your quarry was an armed bear and all that you had was a bare arm?! | | | | | |

| | I would and have my dear p1ke and survived to tell the tales! My arm is very attractive to bears even with ammo. I just make sure I smear honey all over and that's it..armed bear is out for the count, mesmerised and useless to himself and anyone else, lapping lazily away at the bare arm. | | | | | | |

| | If we arm the bears, you just know there's gonna be a problem when the deer, turkeys and other living targets all want theirs. What about fish? Would be something finny about them toting weapons. As far as baring arms...absolutely! People are spending small fortunes adding graffiti to their bodies, let's see it while it still looks good. In 50 or 60 years when it's faded, stretched, sagging or otherwise flapping in the wind, then I'd prefer to shut my eyes and hope it goes away. | | | | | | |

| | Fish of course would want torpedoes. Just imagine if the hunted began to hunt the hunter!! | | | |

| | Where would the fish carry those torpedos? That could certainly put a end to the whaling problem though...lol. If the hunted became the hunter? Then the 'sport' really would be a sport...wouldn't it? | | | |

| | I definitely would not want a bear armed and bare arms would result in a lot of mosquito bites! On a slightly different note, I think hunting is obsolete. I used to go hunting with my dad when I was young because we were too poor to buy meat most of the time. However, people now can usually get their meat from the grocery. I would not go hunting unless there was no other alternative. | | | | | | |

| | I heard some putz on the radio last week talking about wanting the right to openly carry weapons, like the ol' cowpokes did. His theory is that if everybody is armed, no one's going to go shooting people. Yeah, right. (Sorry, I forget what state he was from, other than paranoia...) | | | | | | |

| | If everyone carries their weapon openly... how do you know which one is the bad guy? Maybe they should have badges: Grumpy Grumpier Watch Out Don't say I didn't warn you Seeing Red I'm going for it Homicidal Just bluffing but what the heck........... Deranged Come and get me Hey, stop tyrranising me.... I know my Rights Goodness I could keep this up all day! LOL. | | | |

| | Oh poor old bears! I think there should be the right to Bear hugs. Or is it hug Bears? I'm not sure I want to be hugged back though, I have heard about Bear hugs being a bit too strenuous. Sweet, they don't know their own strength ! | | | | | | |

| | We can own f-16s...as long as they aren't weaponized or armed. (talk about taking the fun out of it) Now...armning bears.. Have you ever had an encounter with a bear? I don't mean in a zoo. They are already pretty well armed, lol. Tough as nails too. A small caliber weapon such as a 22 only pissses it off. A rifle is useless against it if it is fairly close to you because it can easily be on top of you before you ever get a shot off, they run a lot faster than most people realize. A lot of hunters carry a side arm along with their hunting rifle just for this reaason. I live in an area heavily populated by bear. These things are a nusence. I had one that kept crapping on my back porch....5 nights in a row. This same bear also wrecked my bbq gill. But, they are far more than just a nusence. They can be pretty dangerous. We had one in town here that actually busted through a womans front door and destroyed her kitchen. The game official told her that if she had been home at the time and she had encountered it in a closed space like her kithcen, she would likely have been killed. | | | | | | |

| | I know. What's the point in serious hardware that you have to emasculate to have fun with. I do know someone that went fishing with a Huey and an M60D door gun. It wasn't just the Red Sea that could be parted when one of those guys let loose! Was the side arm to commit suicide with if the bear got you? I used to visit Gibraltar frequently and the apes would get down into town occasionally and wreak havoc. But a bear in your kitchen could ruin your day I guess. Unless he could cook of course! | | | |

| | a huey and an m60?? ROFL!! what were they fishing for...blue whale?? Well a bear in the kitchen would be good if it was in the freezer, bear meat is pretty godd when you cook it right. The side arm is carried because it is a lot oeasier to use on something that is on top of you, when a long gun would be useless. | | | |

| | It was in Angola and the host was one of the generals who carved the country up after the civil war - which didn't really end, just continued under a different name. A gun in a holster is a bit like pepper spray in a purse - comforting to have, but probably of little use when you're being assaulted. I'd probably shoot myself! LOL. | | | |

| | I'm opposed to arming bears and will not support an amendment to the constitution to do so. But now, I believe everyone should have the right to bare arms, especially in the summer, when it's 100 degrees outside. | | | | | | |
