- If someone breaks into your house, they aren't there to be friendly.
- They deserve nothing. They gave up their rights the minute they entered
- your house. The best way of dealing with an intruder in your house is to
- call the police, the second best way is to make sure that the intruder
- does you or your family no harm, and if that involves killing someone,
- tough shit.
- Oh, and by the way, if you got the right gun, you'll only need to shoot
- them once.
