In today's world words are violence and you can 'rape' someone by smiling at them. Trudeaus minister just called someone a neo-nazi for taking a picture with a man with a yellow vest ffs.
Bullshit
What is racist to you? Is supporting merit based immigration over refugees racist? Is policing high crime areas racist if populations aren't evenly distributed? Is supporting women's freedom in the middle east racist? These are things that can be debated. Going 'naw it's racist' to everything you don't like is exactly why these categories don't mean anything. And yes is an ad hominem simply because you prefer to call me names than debate any of the statements themselves.
You still don't deny being a racist, but are now looking for definitions, OK here's one from the dictionary, does it fit you?
racist
/ˈrāsəst/
noun
a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
"the comments have led to her being called a racist"
We are not talking about the middle east but Canada here, and the whining and nit picking you are doing is an attempt to deflect, deny and simply lie about your views and beliefs. High crime areas mean black areas of Toronto to you or native parts of Winnipeg, crime happens everywhere, it's just more apparent among the poor and incarceration rates for Blacks and natives are higher because of bias on the part of white police officers, this is a scientifically proven fact. Proven statistically and by experiment, repeatedly too. Canada is not that different than the states and blacks are 5 times more likely to get busted for pot, even though usage rates among blacks and whites are the same. But then again facts are ignored by people like you.
Going back to animals fear and guns. Is the prime minister afraid, and a coward because he wore a bullet proof vest to a rally? What about the pope or the president and their bulletproof glass sheilds? Are they afraid cowards, or just smart
That's because losers have guns and mass murders have collections of them, ban guns and vests will become unnecessary. The Sargent at arms had to kill a loser in the parliament building while Steven Harper was shitting his pants hiding in a fucking closet, you voted for him remember, he was a coward in the crunch. Guts run in the Trudeau family, Justin's old man Pierre had lot's of guts and brains too, so does Justin, even an idiot like Trump can sense it. Cowards own guns and sensible people at risk use whatever means of reasonable protection they can. Fewer guns would require less security and would cause fewer injuries and deaths too. I'd like to see liability insurance added to the requirements for ownership, make it just like owning a cars for all guns, even shot guns. Muzzle loader single shot weapons might be exempted, perhaps.
I have been near bears a number of times and their cubs as well. If you go out there are situations that are dangerous and having the right tools can make a big difference. An example would be when you are 10-14 days between resupply points, even if you hang your food you might have to defend it. Bears are not so scared of bear bangers and you would be nuts to be out by yourself with no cell service and no way out of the forest trying to scare a bear away with no plan b, just saying.
You don't live in the fucking woods you probably live in a city and nobody gives a fuck if you carry a gun in the wilderness and nobody is gonna take it away, provided you have an FAC and are in compliance with the law. Your fear of bears is irrational, stay away from where they live, they have more right to the wilderness than you do. Show them respect there are very few bear attacks in Canada, if your hunting way out in the sticks you'd be armed anyway. Like I said you are afraid of imaginary things, you do not live this kind of lifestyle few white people do, many natives do however and they know how to deal with bears and are not afraid of them, but do respect them.
