Yep, and the program of choice should be "Soldier Of Fortune". Let them make all their war strategies on the computer game board. The president and his cabinet will fight the war at CompUSA(it has to be at a patriotic computer store), and we should host the opposition. No children lost and the winner gets a new alienware computer(Hooray!!)
Hey, I'm serious. Alienware computers rock. That's a great prize.
Yeah right, the bear came into your suburban neighborhood and went into your barn? Wait a minute, they don't have barns in suburban neighborhoods. Oh I get it, you built a house in the woods where the bears live and now he can't live their freely either.

| Well, yes you do, we killed a bear that came into my dad-in-law's barn and killed one of his two goats, and dragged it off into the woods |

I think that if we got rid of guns we would live life with more intelligence.

Bullit was a Steve McQueen movie about a Mustang....LB I think you mean bullets 
If we got rid of guns, we'd find another way of killing each other

| Almost 42,000 people killed by cars in 2000 compared to 35,000 people killed by guns. |
I find that statistic disturbing, but I believe it. But if the US stats are similar to Canadian stats, about 90% of those are caused by either teenagers and/or by speeding. That's why they should increase the driving age to 25 and stricly enforce the speed limit.
But again, cars are not made to kill, they are made for transportation. You can't exactly outlaw cars, you can only enforce responsible driving more.

Actually, about cars and speeding, I think that cars should not be able to go faster than 70 mph. That would solve a lot of problems.

Car made out of metal, weak body work.
Humans drive them, humans today not so great drivers.
And still when someone has an accident they feel bad...
Hello driving car, its a suicide booth.

Its most likely that the place you live today was once in the woods and you are inhabiting land that was taken from some poor animal. The roads you drive on were once wilderness were wild animal roamed free. Are you saying that mankind should stop NOW after you found your place to live?? Maybe we should make all of mankind steril now so there will be no increases in population that require ppl to build a home near or in the woods. Or maybe everyone on the face of the earth should pack into a city somewhere and never go out. I guess we could always build taller apartment buildings to house all the ppl. Wait, then we would be encroaching on the bird habitat. Hmmmm...... I give up, what is your point here

My point is that there are very few wild areas for the animals left. Haven't we inhabited enough of the forests? Can't we live in harmony with the animals without killing them?
No, don't stop now. Destroy the few remaining parks and protected forests and kill all the animals. Why stop now?

You would do better trying to stop the world from turning than to stop the population of mankind from growing Chas. I agree that it is very sad what mankind has done to this earth but in cannot be stopped. When I go into the woods it is to injoy the beauty that surrounds me. I own hunting guns but no longer hunt. I shoot animals with a camera. My web site is www.mikebarrett.net. Check it out and you will see that I love animals and love the beautiful landscapes of the state I live in. It is prestine to me. It hurts to see clear cut forests. I dont even like to see forest fires though they are helpful to many animals as it revitalizes the ground cover for animals to feed on.
Living in harmony with wildlife is something I have been striving to do for more than 30 years. But even then you Will find times that wildlife does not want to live in harmony with you. At those times I want a firearm on my side. Harmony or not, if it comes to my life or death, I will protect myself.
We all have a right to bear arms in this country, that does not require us to exercise that right. We do NOT have the right to kill ppl unless it is in self defense. I guess thats what it all boils down to.

why is this conversation being held on a skinning site? i don't care of a person likes guns or not. i don't but that's my personal belief. the thing is, why is this being discussed here? it has nothing to do with skinning...absolutely zero content towards skinning. lock this thread before it gets uglier, please.

Alot of threads that are made on here have absolutely nothing to do with anything that is in anyway skinning related, This is general discussion, so we can talk things like this out if we want. I for one support the use of guns for protection, but that is mainly because I'm going to be becoming an

Same stats for the UK, @ 1/5th the population of the US - 3431 by cars, 81 by guns....
Hope you 'gun culture' folks find that sobering. I find the US stats very disturbing, and even more disturbing is the acceptance of guns as everyday objects. Frightening.
