If you give up your guns and get bear spray instead, it’s only a matter of time until they make bear spray illegal and come to take it.

“Foreigners are bewildered by our refusal to rein in guns.”
Are they really? I wonder if they are really that stupid.

Hmmm... would bear spray work if the bear had a gun?

For all the talk bear spray is less potent than mace.

No one needs to own a large-capacity bear spray canister.

Couldn’t care less about what foreigners think. I notice nobody cares about my opinion of them.

“”We accept inconveniences to reduce auto fatalities: seatbelts, speed limits, no riding in the backs of pickup trucks. So why don’t we accept tradeoffs to reduce gun mortality?””
Well … in most auto incidents, there is no malice or intent to harm, whereas the act of burglary shows intent implied by its existence.

Why not bear spray AND a gun? Bear spray and SEVERAL guns! And one or two of those handheld small flame-throwers. And a couple of dobermans. I mean, do we HAVE to choose one...? That’s the question everyone should be asking.

Democrats and other socialists should be limited to carrying Glade air freshener. I heard that it will stop a charging grizzly schizophrenic at two yards.

In MS, it's easier to buy an AR-15 than to adopt a Chihuahua. Why should that be?" The right to keep and bear arms is specifically enumerated in our Constitution for one. States have great leeway regarding commerce within the state, especially for known pest species.

In a lot of vehicle accidents there is a lot of idiocy and gross negligence. That tends to kind of make others irate.

"I backpack, and it's well known that bear spray is more effective against a charging grizzly than a handgun.
That's because grizzlies weigh 3 or 4 times what a human adult male does. A handgun will not take them down. A shotgun or rifle will. Meanwhile, handguns are perfect at taking down charging human assailants - that's why they were invented in the first place. They also don't stand a good chance of incapacitating the victim of a crime as well as the assailant, as bear spray is likely to do.
To: SeekAndFind
Ha! Spraying bear spray in an enclosed room would be pretty bad on me too.

RE: Why not both?
I take it that the NYT columnist dislikes someone getting killed. Unfortunately he does not consider the possibility that the victim COULD be killed without firearms to protect him.
To: AnotherUnixGeek
Handguns take bears down all the time. It’s good to know what you are doing and talking about.
