It's easy to forget that everyone does not have the same right to protect their castle...God Bless America!
God forbid that you should use a 'gun' to defend your home
and family!
That just wouldn't do....
Perhaps UK citizens could be encouraged to keep clubs?
Or take Karate classes ? All well and good , unless
the intruder happens to have a gun , as many seem to have
these days in Jolly Old England.
They could bite them with their YELLOW TEETH!!
well knock me over with a biscuit.
Down here in Texas we already do allow people to kill burglars in their homes... it's considered justifiable homicide and an affirmative defense to murder.
BTTT
Shhhh. They might hear you and ban biscuits as a dangerous weapon.
Glad to see some sense seeping back into the british society. Too bad people had to die to shake them up.
I agree completely.
Find out where they live. Go to their homes. Kill the SOBs.
Up here in Virginia we are not free to kill burglars.
How stupid is that?
I can only say two things. 1) If you kill them outside your home, drag their worthless bodies back indoors and hope no blood dripped on the sidewalk and 2) If you do shoot 'em, don't shoot them in the back. Their relatives will get John Edwards to sue you.
You can't drag anyone.. Forensics will easily convict you if you move someone.
The issue is to get realistic defense laws of your property with deadly force.
"Got lead?"
Texas is a civilized country. You Texans are very fortunate.
Crime Control
The Difference Between The Liberal and The Conservative
"Debate" Over The War On Crime:
Question:
You're walking down a deserted street with your
wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking
man with a huge knife comes around the corner and is
running at you while screaming obscenities. In
your hand is a Glock .40 and you are an expert shot.
You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your
family. What do you do?

Liberal Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done
anything to him that is inspiring him to attack? Could we
run away? What does my wife think? What about
the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club
and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the
law say about this situation? Is it possible
he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely
want to kill me or would he just be content to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? This is all so confusing!
I need to debate this with some friends for a few days to try to come to a conclusion.

Conservative Answer:
BANG!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! snick..click...
(sounds of clip being ejected and fresh clip installed)
Wife: "Sweetheart, he looks like he's still moving, what do you kids think?"
Son: "Mom's right Dad, I saw it too..."
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Daughter: "Nice group Daddy!
============================================
The liberal always also thinks:
Is it FAIR that I have a better weapon than does this man of equal (or likely better) worth?
Also: it's our collective fault that this man is in this position, and therefore I and my family owe him bigtime. He undoubtedly (because everyone is) has been a victim of emotional scarring as a result of some family dysfunction which proves that it "takes a village", and all I have to do is show this poor man how sympathetic and caring I and my family are, and he will immediately cease his hostility and come to happiness at our side, and we will all live together in harmony and, more importantly, cultural equality.
Besides, If I fail in this mission, I can always call Jimmy Carter into it. Everyone will FEEL good about it.
The conservative also thinks:
Damn this f*cking Glock! Why didn't I bring my Colt? Hell, I don't even have time to get my S & W out of my sock, so this is going to have to do.
Don't kill burglars in their homes. Wait for them to come to your home.
