> roving armed gangs attacking 90-year-old women and single mothers. So basically: this woman isn't allowed to defend herself from burglars, is that what you are saying? > This is fear-mongering, based on wildly unrealistic assertions about the world. It's great that you are privileged enough to live in an area without any violent crime! That's truly great! I don't live in a safe area, so I don't believe that you or others have any right nor place to make that decision for me. > fear-mongering, Home burglaries are the number one type of crime in my area. Home invasions happen, whether you want to call them "fear-mongering" or not. Should I just not be able to defend my home, my person, my family? Should I trust the good will of the felon who broke in NOT to harm me further or take my things?
