Oh, and as far as TT goes, the outcome was too obvious to be considered a prediction.  Yeah, I got a little carried away! 
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

I am fat and slow. I carry a 454 Casull every where I go. It don't matter.

There's LOTS of things out there that will kill you that no man can outrun. That is why the Lord provided us with .30-06. Only a fool takes a handgun to a bear fight. That said, I do realize the value of a powerful handgun in close.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
Jesus: "Take heed that no man deceive you."

A Grizzly killed and ate 70 pounds of a camper that was staying in a tent at Rainbow Point Campground near West Yellowstone, MT in the 1980's. This was just a short walk through the woods from our cabin, we were there the night it happened.
They captured the bear, killed him and did an autopsy to determine what made the bear do such a thing.
I am no coroner or biologist, but it didn't take me long to determine that if a bear ate 70 pounds of you, he wasn't marking his territory...
Damn right he ate part of that guy. I was gulper fishing the morning after that attack on Rainbow Point on the Madison arm of the lake. I was paddling out to fish and a USFS pickup pulled up where I had put in and told me to get out of the area. Never saw a FS guy with a rifle in the truck before so it was pretty obvious something big had gone down. They found the body by drag marks across the main road by the first cross road. I remember that deal pretty well.

I'm a believer in bear spray !
555 gr of wheelweights sprayed in one homemade 50 cal chunk at a time .
If the situation arises .... (and it has)
I will kill every single black, brown, grizzly, polar or panda bear without hesitation
the shoot, shovel and shut up club does not contribute to polls or statistics
have no interest in an insiders study on wether bears crap in the woods
