@Gun owners:
Well. I suppose that we do differ there. Hunting is not something I appreciate, and while shooting is fun, it's only because of its competitive qualities, as any sport is. Plus, shoot an intruder, and you could get in a huge lot of trouble (here, at least). I prefer bats, martial skills, etc (and should you surprise them, you won't really need distance).
For intruders, they are good for intimidation.

I think you should be able to shoot intruders regardless.

If I ever saw myself in another 10 years, stealing from somebody's home, I would gladly let someone shoot me.

There really are some scum in this world who deserve nothing but a bullet to the head, I am very intolerant of criminals these days.

Oh dear.

I personally don't like guns, I find it quite unaesthetic. Don't know, its just not my cup of tea.

Haha, sounds harsh I know, maybe I should have re-phrased that, but I'm going to stick to my word.

A fair amount of these "scum" will never change, even if they serve a lengthy jail sentence. There are people in this world who just destroy and destroy and make many people's lives a misery, if they break into my house to steal my belongings or attack me, then I would be more than happy to kill them. 

In no way am I a gun nut or a violent person, I just believe strongly in protecting your belongings and most importantly, your life.

Watch Gran Torino, that will rile you up and maybe you could see where I am coming from.

I get your point mate, and the funny thing is that I was picturing Gran Torino scenes in my head while reading this thread. The thing is, when a person states that they would kill a human being, bam my respect towards them vanishes. There ain't no reason at all to end somebodys life. Guns can be used as a dissuasion tool, tho.
