    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.

    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.

      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”.
