Whatever... my "worthless pride" and my "cheap crap" is worth more to me than some dipsnip's life. No, Virginia, I don't care about the two idiots' lives in this scenario.

I want direct access to doctors and medical facilities without the insurance middleman.
Guns are not the problem.
Placing the blame for societal decay at the base of an object, regardless of what it is, is analogous to sticking your head in the sand.
We have terrible healthcare. What do you wanna bet that if we fixed that and helped people get mental healthcare and support instead of throwing law enforcement and gun control laws at the problem, we may actually make a dent in the violence problem our society appears to have.
Healthy people don't go on shooting sprees. Unhealthy individuals makes an unhealthy society.
Health care, education, economic liberty, and ending the war on drugs would do more for violence in our nation than any restriction on any gun.

Let's say this discussion was purely centered on his belongings. Why, even then, should any homeowner "run and hide?" People work hard for their earnings and what they own. I see zero reason why any man should be expected to walk away when someone who has no legitimate claim to their property is assuming the right to steal it. In my esteem, that is absolutely 100% warrant to use whatever force is needed to defend the sanctity of what you spent years worth of blood, sweat, and tears working towards. I wouldn't live in a state that didn't allow me the full right to defend my property, not to mention my life.

I don't know. Generation after generation is raised to believe you don't need to carry a 6 shooter to keep yourself alive here. It feels like 100 years ago like the wild west.
At least we agree on healthcare?
