Two wrongs don't make a right (the (ir)rationality of revenge) - also gun control

Em... but wouldn't that simply increase the likelyhood of intruders taking up arms to counter the threat against them?TIP:Have you ever taken a lungful of CO2 in? Try it someday - it has the same effect as someone punching you in the face. So I'd suggest taking your finger off the 9mm trigger and downgrading your Home Defence Systems to a strategically place CO2 fire extinguisher or two. Edited by iano, : No reason given.

The middle-aged man is more likely to prove a problem than the old lady quite aside from his having a gun or no. Which would mean only rich old ladies get burgled in society? Clearly that's not the way burglary happens - for want of sufficient rich old ladies.There is nothing stopping the old lady having a gun anyway so the question becomes one of likelyhood - in the event guns were made legal and available. If I were a burglar dealing with inestimatable likelyhood of facing a gun then I'd be sure to carry a gun with me.All of which increase the chances of folk getting killed whether innocent burglary victims or guilty of burgling victims.Edited by iano, : No reason given.

Hi Legend..Armed-to-the-teeth-America can act as our guide. Do they have burglaries there still? Or dramatically less burglaries than here?
