First of all no.

Second of all define a weapon.

Third of all no one is talking about weapons other than you. I'm talking property.

No. I was talking about possessions not being worth a human life. Then you pulled out random points not related to anything I'm talking about.

Read.

So you're fine with having the same philosophies as drug addicts that will break into your house while you're there? Why are you so willing to do what people you think are lesser than hypothetically do?

Desperate people do desperate things. A person existing on your property does not justify lethal force.

The kind of philosophy you are preaching leads to people justifying killing a person for a 900 dollar TV. It leads to people shooting first and asking questions later. Which leads to family members being mistaken for robbers. It also causes criminals to fear for their lives and want to be armed and who will also shoot first and ask later.

Your philosophy will just create and repeat a cycle of violence and lawlessness which will make a lot of people dead. And it's illegal.
