Or we could be adults and have unfettered property rights so that individuals can defend their own life and property without the "assistance" of government goons.

Absolutely-it's their JOB! Lock and load.

Now-try asking the left if those protesting the killing of tiny humans should be stopped with force if they try to burn down an abortion mill.

No, the police should hand out lollypops and read Goodnight Moon and other childhood stories to the violent protestors because their mommies failed them.

WTF kind of "survey" is this?

My brother, an Afghan vet, 82nd airborne, who went Mass. NG. Had several people spit in his face while they were called up to protect the property of the people of MA...I'll let all of you, who frequent this forum decide what that means to you.
