[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1877008, member: 423"] No, he's a jerk because he posted a picture of himself in a shirt that says "I'm a jerk." Several people did provide well thought out replies. The bear analogy is retarded and extreme. It's a convenient play on the words "right to bear arms" that is also utterly ridiculous in application; and he's implying that our wanting to legally carry is equally as ridiculous. It's an emotional argument with a blatantly obvious intended response of emotional and logical agreement with the author because, face it, who would reasonably want a bear in a classroom? The cleverness of it is that the topic is not bears in the classroom, but legally carried firearms; and the author is trying to get the reader to agree with his fear of guns without ever directly breaching the topic.
