What libruls really want is for there to be NO guns and for you to have NO defense.
i am fully supportive of the second amendment.
as for no defense, you're talking to a guy on 24 hour greenhouse patrol. i know a little about defense. if my state had SYG laws, one of two things would happen:
1) i'd have gotten ripped anyway. guns are of no use when thieves on your property are stealthy enough.
2) i'd have a dead teenage kid in my greenhouse over vegging plants. do you really think the 14 veg plants i have lost are worth a stupid teenager's life?
defense is security. prevention, determent, vigilance. offense is stand your ground. just look at the cases where it has become a controversy.
"i'm safe in my home, but some guys are robbing my neighbor's house while he is not home and the cops are 30 seconds away. i'm going to grab my rifle, leave my house, shoot them dead, and walk." - joe horn
"i'm safe in my truck, but some kid is walking around in the rain and the cops are on their way. i had better actively pursue him several times, confront him, and shoot him dead if anything escalates. i'll say i was standing my ground when i left my place of security." - george zimmerman
the two men joe horn shot dead posed no threat to his life or property. the kid that george zimmerman shot down was not even stealing anything, he was just walking around.
why people feel that proactive deadly force is a good idea baffle me. that they start threads praising proactive deadly force is beyond me.
i would never employ deadly force unless it was the last option. even then, i would try my best to disable rather than kill. after i told my neighbor about the GH break ins, she let on that she had killed a home invader some years ago, and that it haunted her for a decade. she had nightmares for years on end. imagine if that were just a dumb kid who tried to steal some veg plants worth a total of $100 or so.
by the way, i never hear you SYG people say the same thing about what happened in waco. as fucked up as that was on both sides, you guys say it is better to be tried by 12 then carried by 6. shouldn't that apply to waco as well? shouldn't they have just submitted to the search warrant and tried it rather than fight a suicide battle?
fuck all of you homicidal maniacs. every human life is just as worthy of protection and regard as every other human life. you already have every right to defend your life when necessary without SYG. stop encouraging this vigilantism and psychopathy.
