Don't you see the irony? 

Man afraid of bear. 
Man thinks he's unsafe because of bear.
Man grabs gun.
Man trips on tent stake and shoots himself.
Man unsafe because of gun. 

You can say he's childish, ridiculous, whatever...but don't you see that to a non-gun owner like myself this is ironic, and bordering on comical? 
No, I do not wish harm on anyone, and wish he had made better choices so he didn't shoot himself and spoil his wonderful camping "trip". LOL.
