The 2nd amendment explained.
From : miles
Q: here is the original writing of the constitution prior to its decades of misinterpretations that have taken hold. a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free bear the right of the people to keep and arm bears shall not be infringed. and those two short lines are what is causing all this bother. there are two main groups in the bear community one of whom is vehemently pro-arming themselves while the other suggests that the us government should take far more involvement in the regulation of bears arms. a third minor faction supports the notion that bare-armed bears who bear arms must arm bears only in extreme situations requiring the use of deadly force for example when the bear community is at war but their voice is often lost in this fiercely-contested debate. .

ed h. wrote to be honest i dont like the mountain lions and coyote so close. here in az i do not know of a single case of a coyote attacking a person. they do come into my neighborhood and have attacked dogs and cats but only if someones pet gets loose or is let out. mountain lions have attacked people but its rare. often its an older weaker lion that goes after a small kid. around here its always been in somewhat remote areas or when homes get built in lion country. thats odd youve been there 40 years and they just now started hanging around. is it possible their natural area is being encroached or a bad winter draught etc. has made their food source scarce .

well thanks a lot miles too late now. my states official animal the grizzly is long extinct here. theyve all been shot. at least the brown bear black bear and mountain lion/cougar/puma populations are rebounding. i have seen all three with in a mile of my house as well as golden eagles and numerous coyotes. i live on the far edge of town and often walk past that boundary into their domain. i accept the risk of travelling in the wild and wish them to have a place to live too. fortunately all of the members of those species whom i have encountered have been more afraid of me hence they ran away which is usually when i spot them. im not sure i would like a grizzly bear living in the area. i kind of doubt they ever did but its not an idea im comfortable with. to be honest i dont like the mountain lions and coyote so close. a few months ago a pack of coyote was about 1/2 block away in amongst the houses and from the sound of their calls i think they had taken prey. there is a mountain lion who is known to travel within a 1/2 mile of my house. he is very bold and wont get out of the way of vehicles traveling on the private property on which i walk. this neighborhood has been here for over 40 years. the school were they recently started informing students and parents what to do if they see a mountain lion has been next to this neighborhood for 30 years. .

ive only been here about 9 years. the neighborhood is only a few blocks long buy a few wide and is surrounded on 3.5 sides by open space. to the south west and east is grazing land oil fields farms and vinyards and national forest for 10 miles to the west 30 miles to the south and 60 or more miles to the east. the critters have been around since i moved here. about the time i moved in they planted many square miles of vineyards 15 or so miles south west on what looked like prime varmit hunting ground so maybe some of the predators were displaced. also we have had a very dry rain season and that may be drawing them down to lower elevations thus the bulletins from the school. the bold mountain lion has been around for many years but as far as i know doesnt come into the neighborhood. the coyotes on occasion do and probably find cats. something has taken at least a few cattle that i know of as close as 2 miles away but that area is seperated by hills etc from the neighborhood. one night i was walking in the grazing land less than 400 feet from the houses not far from cattle when a mountain lion roared from a tree stand near the top of a hill that i was walking straight toward. needless to say i change direction. about once or twice a year there are reports of a mountain lion being sited near schools or parks with in a 30-40 mile radius and that does seem to be climbing. ed h. wrote to be honest i dont like the mountain lions and coyote so close. here in az i do not know of a single case of a coyote attacking a person. they do come into my neighborhood and have attacked dogs and cats but only if someones pet gets loose or is let out. mountain lions have attacked people but its rare. often its an older weaker lion that goes after a small kid. around here its always been in somewhat remote areas or when homes get built in lion country. thats odd youve been there 40 years and they just now started hanging around. is it possible their natural area is being encroached or a bad winter draught etc. has made their food source scarce .
