ORIGINAL: lovmuffin You left out 5 My fault for A. For owning firearms and supporting ownership for others B. For being one of those bloodthirsty NRA members C. For supporting SYG laws and can hardly wait for an excuse to shoot a teenager First, there is the second amendment, and owning a firearm for hunting or self defense is not illegal, nor is it social unacceptable, except of course in the mind of crack pot liberals who seem to forget the constitution (unless it is for something they like) and the words of various liberal founding fathers who supported private gun ownership. Second, you know this guy was a member of the NRA how? This may be a shock to you, but not every gun owner is a member of the NRA, is not bloodthirsty, and actually support the idea of reasonable and responsible gun laws, just not the outright banning of guns. Last, this has nothing to do with a SYG law. It happened inside the man's home, at 230 in the morning and the victim was a boy his daughter denied knowing. The doctrine you are looking for is the Castle Doctrine which states that you have the right to use deadly force inside your home to protect family and property. Now, tell me, what should a 55 year old father do with a boy he thought was a rapist? Invite him to the dining room for a cup of coffee? Apologize for the intrusion? Even if I didnt have a gun, if I thought some male was raping my daughter, he would end up dead or missing an appendage normally found between his legs, in which case he is going to bleed out anyway. Now I suggest you look into some recent home invasions that have made the news, such as the one in Cheshire Connecticut in 2007. None gun owner victim, along with wife and two daughters. No way to defend himself or his family, nothing really major happened, unless you want to count the rape and murder of his wife and two daughters. Then there is the case of Pam Williams, Donetta Heyward, and quite a few others. I really like how the same people that oppose gun ownership oppose capital punishment for crimes so heinous as to be unbelievable. Then there have been the cases where witnesses to gang rapes did nothing and women scream that the witnesses should be held accountable as well.
