      Massive coyote pack howling out in our fields right now, not far from our livestock. Tell me again, city progs, how no one needs a gun.

      2/ For the last few years we've only gone outside w guns and mounted flashlights when we think the coyotes might be up to something...then they leave, when they see us. Thinking more and more that I want a very high quality night vision scope so we can engage and remove them.

      Oh c’mon, that’s a lame, poor reading of proposed gun control, you’re smarter than that. Scientists in the arctic take guns out when polar bears are a risk. Doesn’t mean we don’t need enforced background checks, gun safety, etc

      I've seen many proposals about how all guns should be kept locked up by the police, except when I want to go visit the range. I have seen many proposals that would outlaw semi-automatic guns, or restrict magazine size to 5 or 10. Coyote packs are not bound by that number.

      I suppose I'm tired of base stoking ("city-progs"). Not diminishing livestock loss or right to defend -- yet calif. farmers run middle of the pack in % losses to coyotes w/out semi-automatics.

      > tired of base-stoking ok; valid. I get burned out on empty rhetoric, and the typical emotional tags. I'll stand by my point, though, which is that folks in, say, Cambridge and Boston (where I was for 25 years) don't understand that things are DIFFERENT out beyond Rt 128

      Yes -- and I think it goes both ways, e.g. the beyond-Rt-128 relating to threat of (e.g.) semi-automatics in suburban & urban public places.

      The thing is, I think that that threat doesn't actually exist, in any meaningful way. This is a factual question, right? We can resolve it by accessing the right statistics? I think that those statistics show that suburban areas have almost zero problems w guns. Urban areas..

      ...do have a lot more violence, but that's exactly correlated with the demographics that live there. Demographic X has 5x more theft, 5x more robbery, etc. So, of course, it's not surprising that it has 5x more violence (of all sorts: guns, knives, fists). >>>

      Not sure how this justifies laws that apply to people in the suburbs or country (or even 99% of the people who live in urban areas).

          Actually, the statistics don't show the steep drop off in violent crime you might expect in suburban areas, or the relationship between certain types of crimes & violent crimes. https://ovc.ncjrs.gov/ncvrw2016/content/section-6/PDF/2016NCVRW_6_UrbanRural-508.pdf … not to mention..

          Gun-related deaths on the rise: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gun-death-statistics-cdc-study-says-gun-deaths-are-on-the-rise-after-years-of-decline/ … Access to guns --> higher suicide rates. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/magazine/guns-and-suicide/ … (which disproportionately affects rural populations) all in all, there is a road to & reasons for reasonable gun control
