    Bears are not monsters, and there are much better ways of mitigating their threat. ICE and Donald cannot be mitigated. They must be met with overwhelming force. If you don’t have the option of overwhelming force, resort to subterfuge (if you are a hero).

      This is a question of what happens during an attack. Not who is more likely to attack. For a bear, bear mace is an excellent choice. For ICE, if you already have a fucking gun, it being loaded is a first fucking step to that gun being useful at all.

        is a first fucking step to that gun being useful at all.

        Except you are not talking about the use he had in mind for the gun. There can be more than one use for a thing. As an example, here’s a very useful car:

          Except that sign isn’t sitting on a road. Walking around an area where bullets might fly with an empty gun is equivalent to sitting on the road with a car out of gas.

          I don’t care if you are holding a sign that says, “I should’ve gone electric!” while you’re sitting there with your car out of gas… If you did it on purpose, that is stupid.

          Again: Useless.
