   I watched on the Discovery channeel or NatGeo where these gator hunters in Florida extract gators in Florida neighborhoods. They were saying it was illegal to touch to kill gators there.

   You don't need a gun to kill a gator. I mean, it would help but wouldn't a machete work just as well? If you are fighting for your life you will use anything.

   "Last week on the Russell Islands a 10-year-old girl was taken and killed by a crocodile."

   Excuse me? What? The crocodile came into the village, kidnapped a girl, took her back to his lair to eat her? I don't think crocodile's work that way.

   @ Mr. Blinky: good point. I think there may be something they're not telling us...

   Do they get their guns back now?

   I hate to say it, but you'd need a lot more than a gun to kill a croc. Hunting gators you have to sever their spine and thread a wire into their skull to scramble their brain to kill them. Crocodilians are way too primitive to kill by shoot them.

   My question is how many deaths were there by crocs prior to the ban on guns?

   And why was there such a problem that there needs to be such a complete ban that even rifles and shotguns were banned? They usually remain legal for hunters/farmers to keep even after pistols and such are made illegal.

   I tend to disagree with Hollywood, you give me a gun and enough bullets and I can kill anything you throw at me...

   If only the 10 year old girl hadn't surrendered her firearm...

    a cheap rifle like a .30-06 should be enough to stop any croc. if not, you are dealing with some mega croc....call the Hulk

    Years ago i hunted with the Seminole for gators. They would glide up next to them in a swamp boat (like a canoe with a flat bottom) and hit them in the head with an ax. One hit was all it took. This was done at night, to say the least it was a fairly intense experience. It's strange to me that the Solomon Islanders have such trouble with the crocodiles.

    They should just teach their children not to mess with crocodiles!

    seems like a silly reason to ask for gun rights back, how about a rope saying, don't swim here

    what, after all, did they do before they had guns? and what does this have to do with the right to bear arms in other places? because that's where it's going to go... (at least it looks like it to me)

    Just think yourselves lucky Alaska hasn't assumed the right to arm bears.

    How did they fight off crocs before they had guns? They obviously managed to survive and not die out... so what important survival skill have they forgotten?

    "Why We Shouldn’t Give Up The Right to Bear Arms: Last week on the Russell Islands a 10-year-old girl was taken and killed by a crocodile."

    I hope you're not implying that a 10 years old little girl should have been carrying a gun to protect herself from a crocodile... because that's exactly what it sound like.

    i bet the people who are white would not be left defensless around maneating crocs.god forbid a 10 year old white girl was killed,they would cull a lot of crocs then i bet.i guess only white people who comprise 99% of all known serial killers, and are the only people to murder the natives and take theyre land should be trusted with guns,not the stupid non whites
