Well, call me a pinko hippie liberal, but I'm not shooting anybody.
If it's my family, me, or the intruder......there is no issue involved.
There is no way that I am going to sit back and watch while a rapist/robber/killer/whatever does his thing to me and mine.
He's dead.
About two years ago, in my (Southern) city, we had a local news story.
A number of home invasion robberies had been occuring in our area, perpetrated by a gang of so-called "Irish Rovers". Wandering bands of "families" or a "traveling commune".
Well, one black family had their house broken into by a group. The group came in yelling "police! police!"
When interviewed later on TV, the black man stated that he responded by saying "You ain't the po-lice." And then he started shooting.
They didn't do what they had intended. The father was slightly wounded in the exchange, but his family was safe.
If I recall correctly, he succeeded in killing two of them.
In red states, we know the reason.
BTW - I understand that "home invasion" type robberies have become far more frequent in Canada since that nation passed strict laws about homeowners having to store guns & ammunition locked away, guns unloaded, etc.......
When the predators know that they can do their thing with impunity, then they rule the world. Or, at least -- they rule your world.
