    “My uncle didn’t need a gun except when he did every day at work.”

    “If there was a bear at his door he’d just call the bear guys and they’d come and make the bear leave.”

    This is my favorite take in this entire thread.

      From the get go my take is that a minority of people need guns. My uncle worked for the transport ministry in a location where the biggest town has a couple hundreds permanent residents, his job was to go check all the dirt roads around, no shit he would need a rifle for work. At home he clearly didn’t need one though because well… He was in town, at home!

      Yeah, in remote locations the local authorities take care of wildlife that decide to come inside the towns, people don’t just go shooting bears left and right, that’s pretty obvious when you think about it for more than 2 seconds.
