...and if I has shot a 12 year old intruder coming thru a window in my house in the middle of the night becauase I "thought" he had a gun, I'd have my weapons confiscated and I'd be in jail right now....and would need to defend myself self at great legal defense to prove it was justified.

Why is it that in most states to justify shooting someone, a citizen needs to prove that his life was in danger, and that all other escape routes had been exhausted...but the police can chase a 12 year old kids into a dark ally and execute him because they "thought" he was shooting?

When guns are outlawed, only the police will have guns...now there is a scary thought.

Then you should move to Texas. This would be a clean kill and a "no-bill" from the grand jury.
