[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] That statement's total logic content is zero. I related factual incidents. No conceivably 'gung-ho' mentality was included, besides the final line in which I suggested that marauding, threatening people, who ALL committed numerous felony acts, got what they deserved in the end. The opposite argument, used by many who see humans as essentially untrustworthy, maniacal individuals who need to be controlled, relies soley on largely groundless emotional arguments based on isolated tragic incidents, yet those that were preventable through the application of common sense, and do not require wholesale blanket laws. (And I still wonder how stupid you have to be before you fail to realize that having a gun pointed at you is pretty much the universal sign for 'go away.') WITHOUT the ability to self-defend, it is likely that most of the potential 'victims' above would have been injured or killed by their assailants. I highly doubt, somehow, that I would then hear you complaining about the 'gung-ho' mentality of the criminals, and how they violated the poor homeowners' rights. [/QB][/QUOTE]
