Of all these people killed by guns, were they mostly career criminals, or were they just people who needed to be killed?
I don't know, haven't researched the past history or criminal records of those who died. But, I do believe if someone breaks into a persons home and makes the homeowner fear for his or his families life, than the use of lethal force against that home invader is justified.
We had two cases just recently in my the suburbs of the my area where homes were invaded in the late evening, both cases the invader had evil intent. In both cases, the homeowner retrieved a weapon and only the home invader suffered an injury (loss of life in at least one case).
I realize others don't like guns, and I respect that feeling, but I strongly support the right of law abiding citizens to own a firearm and be able to defend their home and family.
