The gunnutters will use bears, wolves, badgers, and other creatures as an excuse for being armed. There’s no stopping their madness. Possession of a weapon bestows a sense of invulnerability to them; unfortunately it doesn’t also bestow a requisite sense of responsibility. I say the bears now have ample justification for killing and eating gun-toting rednecks in national parks. Maybe someone can come up with a way to put the scent of bear urine in gunpowder.

Bluestocking, as long as idiot humans are wandering around in national parks with guns, I think bears, wolves, badgers and other creatures should be armed, too. It’s only fair.

I find myself wondering how long it would take for us to begin seeing an increase in armed robbery, rape, rage shooting, and/or multiple shooting inside the national parks if people were granted permission to carry handguns…as much as I hate to say it, my guess is “not long at all”. Granted, the ban on guns would not have removed all possibility of people sneaking their guns into the park and therefore probably did not eliminate all possibility of such crimes taking place…but lifting the ban will make it much more feasible for people to commit such crimes and therefore more likely that such crimes will take place. To make matters worse, it’s possible that many or even most of these crimes will end up being “cold cases” since the isolated nature of the lands within most national parks lessens the chance of such crimes being witnessed by anyone.

And kids ought to be able to carry guns to elementary school, too, damn it. You know, just in case some 8 year-old Klebold wannabe decides to open fire during recess. Plus, when Mrs. Crabapple starts teaching that evolution crap in science class or gives too much homework over the weekend, well, she’ll be staring down the business end of a Glock. God bless America!

It’s a damn sight safer than giving guns to the governments jack-booted thugs who know they will never be held accountable for their brutality.

I think there should be guns allowed in expensive restaurants, ritzy clothing boutiques and other places where snooty people attempt to keep you out. Just grab the piece and blast away. Eliminate a lot of Republicans that way, too.

You can trace the gun cult to the days of civil rights marches when tens of thousands of blacks marched on Washington, and scared the holy crap out of fearful white racists who were terrified of being given the same treatment they’d been giving blacks for two hundred years.

The gun cult is a white male oriented phenomenon, for the most part – fearful, trembling, pasty-skinned redneck creatures huddling in the shadows, dreading the day a mob of angry blacks swarms their front porch demanding reparations.

Let them have their bullets — when the house catches fire there won’t be any firemen within blocks because of the live rounds going off.

Can someone remind me – when did this fetish over guns begin? I’m almost 60 and don’t remember this gun-lust in my early years. Could this be another manifestation of the Reagan/Republican fear campaign that began in the 80s?

I dunno. Maybe if each box of ammo cost $1000 then some of these dirt-poor/gun-rich mental midgets would not be able to afford it. Let them keep their guns (second amendment and all that crap), but ensure that the guns are empty.

What, you’ve never heard the saying, “Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition”?
