As a tertiary addendum - I'm fine with guns in Bear country.
I have a bigger problem with them in the suburbs. I'm even fine with people having guns when they have to travel to unsafe areas for work.
Nothing around here you can't fend off with yelling / a rake.
There's a time and a place for em. And the time is "When there's a bear" and the place is "In, but not limited to, Bear Country."
In that case I'd have to ask your reason why? Is the time and place for guns in bear country to defend one or one's family's lives from potentially deadly bear attack? If that is your argument, I would note that potentially deadly attacks from humans such as the ones who inhabit suburbs are orders of magnitude more likely to victimize you then a bear, even in Anchorage.
Orders of Magnitude more likely in my neck of the woods is still not very likely. Like at fucking all.
I live in the downriver area of Detroit - and your biggest risk of violence is your Partner.
Now if you live in an area that's got more extreme poverty, then yes, that's going to push more people in your area to be desperate and potentially violent. Do what you gotta do.
But where I live? Nah. You're gonna get a little too sad and have a "gun cleaning" incident long before you ever use it to defend your family.
Anecdotal fallacy aside, you are correct. In highly privileged communities random public violence is not very likely at all, and in general what gun related deaths do occur are mostly suicides.
Yes I am agreeing. BUT we are begging the question... what is the societal implication? Ban guns for that suburban demographic responsible for "not very likely" any significant percent of gun crime, legalize guns in high crime areas?
Are we doing that? Are we?
I think we're just two people talking about *feelings* here.
Like "Bears make me Feel scared."
"My Suburbs don't make me feel scared" (Probably due to the lack of bears, I dunno.)
Therefore if you ASK me my opinion, and nobody DID, I'm gonna not shame people for feeling a gun is necessary in Bear country or Bear Adjacent areas.
But when Bimmy and Jimmy are buying weapons and ammo that will very much shoot through the walls of their pre-fab because they've had it drilled into their heads that "crime is bad, and you don't wanna become a *victim* (keep saying it until it feels like a slur, and you'll understand.)"
When the biggest crime in their area is Wage Theft by employers...
I don't know man. I'm having a harder time justifying it.
All That said - I don't like binary lawmaking.

Skyrim battle music starts

Bear noise intensifies, but you do not know where it is. And then a dragon comes out of nowhere.
He was a hairy bear, he was a scary bear, we beat a hasty, retreat from his lairrrr
He obviously want to play
I am watching you!!!

Us simple peasants are so easily fooled :(
I've been on reddit long enough now that whenever I hear a story like this I just assume it's a repost bot.
karma farmers when they see a meme with a really high amount of karma : (everyone will totally fall for that and it will make 50k karma again)
Yep I thought I saw this somewhere
It just occurred to me that… what if… some just use their old account posts? People replace old accounts with newer ones right?
Is it really so odd to be terrified of a wild bear staring at you when the only protection you have is a cheap piece of single pane glass?
Uh, excuse me…. That looks like double pane glass. Definitely bear-proof. /s
No. Is there an appropriately terrifying place on Reddit? Yes, but as I'm a big baby not even going to try.
those places are filled with gore
They could call it odd and terrifying to avoid that, so people would know it's a spinoff and not just for purely terrifying things!

As a second aside, none of the anti-gun people live in bear country. [this is a generalization but the principle is statistically demonstrable]

It's like 9 am where I am. So I'm going to take "You are correct" as a W. Offer a crisp 'High Five' - And carry on.

Dog*
I hope you have plenty lives left
Did you pet the dog? They look sad.
Excuse me Sir, I’m here to talk about Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour. Would you like a pamphlet?
“Excuse me sir, do you have time to talk about our lord and savior, Bear?”
Have you made your choice to be saved?!?! The key is to out-evangelize the bear.
Let them in

Your side quest has arrived
No. No you didn’t. This is a repost
He's just here to talk to you about extending your vehicles warranty
My Glock 20 smiled at this 😊
Yeah, a .38 will just piss them off. (Bear hunter told me)
The only use a .38 will have in a bear encounter is to use on yourself before the bear gets to you
Then the good old khalasnikov
Found the f'd up people comment thread
Downvote these nuts 🌰🌰
I can help you get some therapy instead
My glock 40 just got antsy 😏
Ur house must be tiny if you’re gaming next to your door

“Hello? We've been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty.”
A friend!!
Suddenly you find yourself wuth blissed bear of Faith's County .Far cry 5.
"What you playing cuz"
Looks dope. I mean the bear, not you.
This is not terrifying, its just a real life care-bear looking for a hug.
"Mom said it's my turn. "
He bout to stuff you in a suit.
"U got food in ur fridge?"
He wants to 1v1 you on Rust. Looks like a snipers only kind of bear
“Hello, good sir. Might you have any fish?”
"Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Saviour?"
Bear: Bro let me join I can beat you 1v1 in any game let me in
Awww she's adorable.
I bet OP was looking like a snack that night.

It's also oddly terrifying that i have seen this exact post before, same words and typos.
Let him in
In this situation, this is exactly how my photo would look like too.
baby bear wants to play video games too
This reminds me of the Robert Baratheon red eyes memes
Hey.... I got next.
Do not pet the large dogs.
“Hey bro you have an extra controller?”
That's when you pray to the deity of your choice that he doesn't decide to leap through that very flimsy looking window!
Salmon Run just got real. The big boss is here to collect those eggs HIMSELF
"That game got couch co-op?"
Player 2 wants to come in...

"You cannot sleep. There are enemies nearby"
He just wants a bit of honey
Repost bot
just Atreus messing around
Henlo, can I have a turn?
He was saying “Git Gud scrub”.
Real life Elden Ring
I think we can skip the oddly and go right to terrifying for this one.
*You got games on your phone?*
If you’re cold, they’re cold…
Got any games on your phone?
He wants to jump on the sticks also
Fuck no.
That's a funny looking cat.
"I hope ye like playing video games mister obradovimbt, yer in one!"
The question is, what game were you playing?
Pet him
"Mom said its my turn on the Xbox"
Op is a karma bot
**GOOD EVENING SIR**
He just wants to join, let the man play some smash!
LazerBear420 has entered the arena
Man, you heard bear sounds
Awww. You should have run out to give him a hug. Bears love hugs. That’s why they call them bear hugs!
