One of TYWD's main arguments is against killing for property. That's all well and good. If someone breaks into my home, unarmed and non-violent, I promise not to kill him. I'll sure try to beat the shit out of him, though! But if the criminal is armed, how can you know that he is only interested in theft? Even if that's all he started out seeking, once he gains control who's to say he won't escalate things simply because he views himself in the rare situation of having some form of control? It happens, all the time! These people are criminals with virtually no moral character to start with. By breaking into my home they are automatically threatening me and my family. I can not, WILL not, sit back and wait to make sure that all he's interested in is simple burglary. I will take every opportunity to attack, with whatever weapons are available, and if I have the chance I WILL KILL THE BASTARD!

Maybe in your eyes that makes me an evil person. So be it! I have the same respect for human life as you do, I believe. But I also believe that there are those who have lost the right to be considered human. Anyone who thinks he (or she) can take whatever he wants just because he wants it, whether it's property or someone else's life, doesn't deserve to be treated humanely.

Yes, I think guns are dangerous. I would love to see some REAL gun control in this country. Make certain that those who want to own guns have the knowledge and the training to use them responsibly. Make even more certain that the criminals have much tougher access to weapons. Control from the top, by limiting the ability of the manufacturers to make their weapons and limiting the ability of the retailers to sell their weapons.
