You honestly think not taking away certain guns will stop the government if they really want to do something?

The taliban and north vietnam sure put a stop to our government with alot less technology

I understand that gun violence is almost non existent in countries with strict gun laws. However, America was built on several freedoms. The right to bare arms is one of them. If guns are taken away what's next? Because we all know that once you start down that road it snowballs.

 

Exactly! Unfortunately tragedies like this happen but freedom has a price. I seriously doubt we'd have the freedom we do  today without the 2nd ammendment

How about Toronto, Vancouver, Paris, London, Oslo, Stockholm, Berlin, Rome, Madrid, etc…???

 

Not as good as it could be in Chicago and Detroit because of American gun laws.  So you’re sort of answering your own question 

The point is they have the strictest gun laws in the country and it hasn't helped. There's over 430 million guns in civilian hands in this country right now and the amount used in a violent crime is next to nothing. We have a crime issue not a gun issue. We need stricter punishment for the laws we already have. Anyone caught committing a violent crime with a gun life sentence, murder someone with a gun = death. Too many get sent right back out and do it again. The American people are soft though so this will never happen

Those arent countries last time I looked.

What's the difference? Same laws controlling people?

The answer isn’t all that difficult.  Look around the world at countries with much lower rates of gun violence and hardly a  mass shooting.  Emulate those countries that don’t have the same problems.  What makes their laws effective?  Why are mass shootings almost non existent?  
 

But so long as America embraces their gun culture the fact is American society cares more about guns than school shootings, mass shootings, and gun violence.  

How's that working out in chicago and detroit?

The system failed and there's lots of victims and many to blame. Let's find this guy and deal with him appropriately and then play the blame game. 

The appropriate way to deal with him is put him down, shove him in a crematorium and be done with it. No media coverage,  no legacy, nothing. Just dead, gone, done. 

The thin blue line protecting and serving themselves! Total scumbags

I'm 100% okay if congress can't pass 1 bill....the people will be much better off. 

Exactly! All they do is spend more of our money and pass more laws that screw the people over. 

Needless violence! Why didn't they just call 911?

No shit? That's cool, I always figured if cornered the bear would tear up the dog. Cool story. 

Both were probably tired and that's what changed the outcome. If the dog was biting the bear or being aggressive in a tight area like that it wouldn't end well for the dog. Glad it worked out for the bear and dog! I hunt the bears but rarely kill 1, they're a really cool critter

I wonder just how that situation materialized? How did that bear not kill the dog?

It's a plott hound used for bear hunting, has a gps tracking collar on too. Probly chased the bear in there and wouldn't/couldn't get out. A good hound puts pressure on a bear when needed and backs off when the bear gets aggressive.  Both were well behaved apparently
