Look, if you get pwnd and can't refute or reply coherently to what I said, just concede like a mature adult.
You don't have to make childish posts, filled with further proof of idiocy and mental illness.

O.K. you'll be on the 5:00PM news as everyone's hero.. Congratulations Niflmir, you just shot the Colarado bomber and are now a hero.. three chears for Niflmir!!!
As I said, it was sad but sounds like the guy did right.. The bear was in motion to attack the girl.. do I agree with his actions.. hell no!! He should have stepped in front of the girl and become the main course for the bear.. lol
I'd be on the 5:00PM news as a psychopath that needs to be locked up. You'd let a fox into the hen house because it chased off the hawk?
He shouldn't have been in the situation where he needed to make that choice. If I go into a slum and start flashing money around, then I end up shooting a person who tries to mug me, am I not an idiot for flashing money around a slum?
eh!! No.. I'd toss my wallet south and be running north.. or better yet, not go into a slum.. but have been in that very situation.. and guess what? I tossed my wallet south.... and head for the border to the north.. lol (bad area in a border town in Mexico)
You might be an idiot. But that doesn't change the fact that being an idiot, doesn't give anyone the right to physically assault and rob you.
lol. I hope you weren't flashing your money around.
I carry two wallets around in case anything like that ever happens. One with cash, the other with cards and ID's. Not sure if it is going to help if I ever get mugged.
You don't have to have lots of money to get robbed in a few Mexician border towns, you just have to look "American" and or be wearing nice clothes..
You forget, ICE drives buses to the border and all the illegals they cought get off with no money.. they just spent the last $3000USD on a coyotte that failed them and looking for someone to blame.. so any white guy will do..
I think that was Calexico–Mexicali ...
If you had any first hand knowledge you would have put it forward long ago. I stated my credentials which i can absolutely prove, call it bragging to change the subject if you like. Would you state your provable first hand knowledge of animal/wildlife habits and the wild world please? Or you can go on trying to kick ass with crutches.
How do you as a human, assert leadership/dominance in a group of Moose outside of force? Elch to you perhaps.
What does a Lynx do most often when cornered or frightened?
What smallish Mammal commonly hunts and eats Beaver Kits?
Do Coyotes or Wolves have larger litters during a high cycle of Rabbit population?
Can you answer the questions without the help of Google or a book?
You would not lie would you?
You made reference to "my guns", and claim you do not hunt. Bit of an odd thing that you seem to decry firearms ownership.
Its called bragging because appeal to authority is a fallacy. What does any of this have to do with the following question:
Did that man and that girl need to be there?
Your questions have nothing to do with that. You just need me to know less than you because you realize you've missed the point. That or you are another Timothy Treadwell.
Did I decry firearms ownership? No, that is just you putting words in my mouth again. I suggest that you need me to be against firearms ownership because otherwise I don't fit into your narrow world view.
I will say this: I never lie. The reasons for it are simple, and you can read about them here: http://www.amazon.com/Lying-Kindle-...?ie=UTF8&qid=1343943423&sr=8-1&keywords=lying
Oh man! You are really out of it if you liken me to Treadwell:lol:
You did not answer the questions but keep bobbing and weaving even though your stinger does not exist.
If we're equivocating, you forgot to mention putting nails into boards.
You must live close to an airport if you are so used to things going over your head. I liken you to Treadwell because you continue to erroneously insist that experience = knowledge. Treadwell is a good counter example.
I don't answer your questions because they have nothing to do with what I was talking about, and I am not in the habits of chasing people's smoke.
Now answer the actual question at hand: did that man and that little girl need to be there?
No problem i will answer. No they did not NEED to be there, just as you do not NEED to have the freedom to question their freedom. Get it?
Peeps who put the welfare of not at risk animal species ahead of humans are unfortunate.
So according to your reasoning all good knowledge comes from academia, not experience and observation. Ok. My dance card is full now.
hmmmmm.......so you consider childish, proof of idiocy and mental illness, in anyone who does not feel it necessary to cart a loaded gun everywhere. We pay for police forces to make this sort of environment possible. Denying them access to tools that would help them to do their job, is paranoid and stupid.
We have laws regarding seat belts (which have saved thousands) restrictions of where one may smoke, (protecting children, service personel and clients of public buildings) and even restrictions of cell phones and texting while driving. Why should laws governing guns be exempt?? While those without seat belts, smokers and drivers with these dangerous actions do at times hurt more than themselves, they are infinitely less dangerous than a person driven to the edge, out to take revenge on the innocent with a legal gun!!
It seems to me, it would save quite a number of lives if the police could know how many and what type of weapons the person has access to before trying to save those under threat......mostly family, fellow employees, or school children.
Further, more resources should be employed in crippling the gun smuggling industry. And hey inspite of keeping track of the guns one owns, I am sure in the unlikelyhood of a home invasion one would still have enough fire power to blow those suckers to kingdom come
Geez imagine, generations of my family have escaped being killed or maimed by criminals with or without guns. Nowadays, one doesn't even catch a glimpse of those raiding one's bank account, gutting the retirement fund or cheating the roof from right over one's head. No gun will ever catch those people.
You obviously don't know much about garden pests, like magpies, crows and bluejays!
Oh for Gawd's sake, I AM A FARMER. The biggest pests are those who feel, my crops of peas, beans and corn are there for the taking. Birds, or even raccoons are the least of my problems. Birds don't cart of sacks of veggies.
Besides, there are noise making machines that do a better job than a single person with a gun!! The macho solution is passe, the intelligent one is in.
You pick and choose your stats, like most others looking to prove their point. However, there are too many of us who know how stats can be skewed to suit!! On the whole we are intelligent, reasonable people who are capable of looking at all angles of a problem and can see beyond the stats issued by those invested in a particular outcome.
There isn't another democratic,reasonably civilized country, not involved in the production of guns, or drugs or at war, that rivals the shear numbers of deaths or woundings, by firearms, existing in the US today.
First of all America and Canada are two different countries, here we decided civilization
was better than arming everyone to the teeth. I also have problems with the current gun
laws in Canada. No they do not stop gun crimes, but then nothing will stop gun crimes
short of not allowing guns period. We know that is not a practical answer in either country.
The difference in the two nations is not the gun its the outlook toward both society and the
gun. America is like a giant child that never grew up. We have certain rights and those are
ours and to hell with anyone who says different.
In Canada we by nature try to accommodate everyone, (sometimes that is troubling too) as
we all know you can't please everyone.
It comes down to this some gun control is required, at least a registration of firearms of some
kind. If we know who has a gun its likely they didn't commit the crime so look for the ones
that are not registered. The problem is, every time a government sets up a program they
are not satisfied until everyone is not satisfied. We could have registration through rod and
gun clubs, shooting ranges and a host of other groups that are enthusiasts. They could keep
the records and provide them when required it would save society a fortune.
I the industrialized world most people are responsible and take responsibility for their weapon
and have respect for society. In America lately they shoot you and claim self defence. It is all
in the attitude.
The other problem is this, in Europe and other places they use the laws on the books and they
prosecute those guilty of offences. Here we let the problem go, and it festers and people then
become angry and demand more laws, not realizing the problem is we don't enforce the laws
already provided. Making laws is useless unless they are going to be enforced.
REMEMBER most of the violent criminals are repeat offenders using the system like a revolving
door. What are they Doing on the street if they are violent criminals? And who puts them out on
the street. That is the heart of the problem.

lmao Look, Blooperbyrd, I didn't say a gun is a shovel. Jeezez.
Flat out bullsh|t. Some guns are meant to hang on walls. Some are specifically meant to shoot clay pigeons with. Some are meant sopecifically to shoot pieces of paper at various distances. We have 8 posts between Salmo and Creston here that house guns. They are specifically meant to cause controlled avalanches along the highway.
scoop some wood off the buttstock and you could use it as a shovel. Sit it on your desk and you could use it as a paperweight.
And it applies quite well to you.
A gun is generally used to shoot with, but not necessarily to kill, which was my point and it completely makes your claim about guns being used to kill ludicrous.[/QUOTE]
BS. Home-made guns aren't tough to make.
And most gun owners by far are law-abiding, given that the laws themselves make sense.
Common sense once told us that the planet was flat, too. That's also pretty sad.
Good sense is a better quality, but unfortunatley it's not as plentiful as it should be. And you are proof of that.
Or a diseased or an old bear.
I have many times and a couple times specifically to you. If you choose to ignore them, that's fine but when you keep posting the same sh|t about guns only being made to kill, you simply make yourself out to be a fool.
That form of target practise is called silhouette shooting. The rest of us use clay pigeons, square pieces of paper with bullseyes on them, etc.
Lordy, somehow you must've suvived haveing a few holes shot in your head, judging by the amount of intelligence and imagination you have.
1 human, several members each of cougars, bears, coons, skunks.
Maybe if you were standing on the snowpack about to give way you might use a starter pistol. It's pretty obvious you know nothing about avalanche control.
In some cases, yes. Unfortunately, brains are used for thinking, except in your case.
Like what?
