Why trust government employees to be the only people with guns? They kill people too and justify their killings with politics like "war" or "crime prevention" as if they have an acceptable perspective that allows for the death of other humans. Gun control needs to go both ways and they should stop taking guns from citizens until they are willing to disarm themselves.

We should greatly reduce guns for cops. And only allow them to be available for the special forces, army and First Nations in remote areas.

First Nations in remote areas.

Do you think polar bears take "no" for an answer?

I've been to Churchill, MB. People there have guns to fend off polar bears. A polar bear WILL maul you if you do not fire first. We were not allowed in some areas of the territory unarmed.

Do you think Polar bears care if you are indigenous or not?

Indigenous people do not have a right to weaponry in rural areas over others as sunshine argued and I disagreed with.

Sunshine simply took a speech shortcut by referencing first nations, which remote areas with polar bears are mostly populated by, but anyone living there would need a rifle to deal with the wildlife.

Not a very good shortcut when it is easier to type "People in remote areas" than it is "First nations in remote areas".

I don't disagree with you on that, it could have been better worded.
