What's not to celebrate? The homeowner was uninjured and a crime was stopped.
i highlighted that same quote when someone posted about this previously in a different thread.

it was astonishing to see a case where a parent fails to use the 'my bebbe dindoo nuthin' approach.

Creepy to say the least.
Why is it creepy? If thugs who break into people's homes knew that they had a 2% chance of surviving, do you think that they would find a new activity to engage in?

Quite frankly I think it was a good shoot. People avoid doing things, they know that the punishment for, is something they don't wish to have. If 98 out of every 100 burglars were shot and buried, trust me, within months, the crime of burglary would be a thing of the past. The fact is, many get away with it, by receiving a minimal sentence, they shrug, do a few months, and then go on to the next house. If they thought for a moment they would be shot and killed, they would find some other crime to commit.

My guns keep everyone else honest and food on my table.
Each one has a different use.

GOOD!

Now, I ask you, what the heck was this guy doing crawling into someone's window?

Another bad guy dead.

It sounds mean, by the repeat criminals live and die by the same code.

[MOD CUT/off topic]

Yes, everyone knows: guns kill bad people. They also sometimes kill good people. They also kill animals for sport and food. The common theme here is "kill." That's what guns are made for.

Just another loaded thread for people to say they don't take killing lightly and then joke about it, make dumb statements about parenting, mock "gun grabbers" and brag about their owning firearms...
