  > But if you just preemptively murder anyone you want, you'll never know whether they were going to kill your child or not, and you'll think you're always right. Who said that I want to preemptively murder random people? I'm only preemptively hurting attackers. If people don't want to be dealt with as attackers, they should not attack. After all, if they're only there to take your stuff, they can do so when you're not home. Your logic that people who attack you should be left alone is, quite frankly, weird.

    You're only preemptively hurting "attackers", but you've redefined "attackers" to mean "anyone you want to preemptively hurt". I expect in the vast majority of cases, if someone breaks into your home while you're inside, it's because they didn't know you were inside.

How are you defining "someone who uses force to get to me"? My definition of an attacker specifically requires that they force their way to me and my children. You are on some insane mission to trivialise the danger from someone who is prepared to force their way to you. Why? (I'm generally curious, btw - why is your expectation that someone who forces their way into a house is peaceful by nature?)
