(1,666 posts)Tell people they need to lock their guns up, then arrest and imprison them if their gun is stolen, regardless of measures used to store it.
You have inspired me. We should make a law that says people HAVE to lock their guns up when not in use or cleaning. Then we should immediately charge anyone who employed successful self defense in the home with said gun, while treating the criminal invader as the victim and letting them off the hook.
We should tell the detectives, dont concentrate on the home invader; we only care about how it is possible for someone to shoot, in their own home, a criminal we sympathize with, with a gun that was supposed to be locked up. That doesnt sound legit so the shooting is murder or attempted murder.
Isnt that clever? Make self defense illegal by a backdoor method.
