Bingo, and the flip side is that if you get jammed up on some BS charge (oh like while defending your life with a firearm) one day, you want intelligent, patriotic Americans on the jury to make sure justice is served. You do not want to be tried by a jury made up of idiots.
There's a simple solution here. Lock your doors and carry a gun. That bear would be at the taxidermist if that was my house. Those idiots just about got eaten. They're lucky that bear was feeling lazy.
