Im sure humans kill a hell of a lot more humans than bear's do.

But ANY time you're in range of a wild bear he is a threat. Any human being isnt a threat in the same sense.

I dont personally support the ownership of guns in society as a whole, but if you are in an area where vicious wild animals who will see you as prey are at large and running amock then you have a right to defend yourself.

In civil society it is my belief that widespread gun ownership ups the ante in terms of violence and crime. In a wild wood th grizzly bear has already upped the ante by being 800 lbs and potentially extremely aggressive.
