Home Invasion in America

The fact is, the United States leads the world in occurrence of burglaries and about four burglaries occur every minute; that’s one every 15 seconds.
Bureau of Justice Statistics Special Report states that a household member was home in approximately 28 percent of burglaries. Alarmingly, a household member suffered some form of violence in seven percent of burglaries.According to the FBI, the average dollar loss per burglary in the U.S. is $2,185. That amount far exceeds the cost of a basic home security system, and doesn’t include the emotional damage a break-in inflicts on your family. 
Then you have an idiot by the name Ta-Nehisi Coates that writes for the left wing rag The Atlantic. His heading to his article states- Gun Violence and the Irrational Fear of Home Invasion. Quite obvious this idiot is not able to Google any real facts on home invasion. So to sum up his article he states-Is looking at homicide too small? Should we include assault? Burglary is, in of itself, an intensely traumatic experience. Is the mere fact of invading someone's home an act of aggression that justifies lethal force? I don't know.
Why is it Democrats are so opposed to protecting your home with a firearm. Are Democrats saying we Americans can't use lethal force when our house is invaded by a criminal.
Add New Argument

Once someone breaks into a property, especially a dwelling house, with criminal intentions they should lose all their legal rights. The law should endorse the tenant/landlord to use of whatever force is necessary, including blowing the filth into kingdom come, to stop the burglar(s) from plundering their property.

Democrats could not care less for American safety. They care about anti Gun money coming into their campaigns.

This is why Democrats are not more concerned about Terrorists getting into this nation through our refugee programs.

DEMOCRATS DON'T CARE FOR AMERICAN SAFETY! But of course these hypocrites have body guards with conceiled weapons protecting these anti gun hypocrite's lives.

When there is such a huge population disparity among the nations of the world, the only truly fair and accurate way to illustrate the crime problem is to do it in a "per capita" fashion.

And if you do this...you will see that we are pretty far down the line.

Also....violent crime and home invasion have dropped under the Obama administration.

Oops!

LOL

Could be that all of the fear over loosing 2nd Amendment rights under Obama drove up the purchases of firearms, thus pushing violent crime and home invasion down. Thanks Obama.

If you had been waiting for the natural finances version, you have located it with the XtremepowerUS 75037 Pool Cleaner Vacuum . The first-class aspect about it is that it comes with effortless assembly and set up. You won’t waste quite a few time getting this device set up and may have it cleaning your pool fast. This unit is priced so low that you may replace it a few times for the cost of some other fashions, if that is the type of system you're seeking out.

All I can say is I've lived a half dozen places in and around a major US city for 25 years and I have yet to have either my home or car broken into. Knock on wood. I know it happens, but I'm not exactly horrified that the US is on a brink of anarchy and collapse.

Tell us about all the times you were robbed? Did they catch them? What color were they? And were they all Democrats?

Sure it happens but should law abiding citizens not be able to use lethal force when their home is invaded by criminals.

The problem Democrats have is the idea that lethal force involves sentencing someone to death without a trial for an offense that wouldn't even get them life in prison. That's really the issue. The burglar is still human after all.

I have no problem with self defense as long as it's the only alternative to becoming a victim. But I also know from my gun safety classes before I got my permit to carry and from the legal specialist who came to speak to our class that it's actually quite rare that even a home defense requires shooting someone. You have to warn that you have the ability to shoot them, you have to consider realistic options to withdraw and escape if possible, you have to be certain they're actually armed with real weapons, and more. Because juries are not automatically going to take your side if you shoot an intruder. You really need a perfect combination of extraordinary circumstances to be able to gun down a home intruder.

Going back to my original post, though. I've lived 25 years in metro Boston never once owning a gun (nor even keeping a knife or baseball bat by my bedside) and so far never being a victim. The gun nuts would have me believe I should be in such mortal fear I should have a gun on my hip 24/7 and everywhere I go. What a waste of the last 25 years would have been if I'd spent it all afraid and carrying a canon in my pocket.
