Let me explain something to you that you obviously don't get. If you wait until the criminal is pointing a gun at you, you're alread dead. Good luck with that. Also, that's not an emotional argument, it's something that unfortunately happens in the real world, and it is a legitimate concern if somebody has forced entry into your home while you're there. You have way too much faith in criminals to be decent, well meaning people who just need some new stuff. Not sure how you're coming to that conclusion, but it's simply naive. |
LOL, I don't see how the dude doesn't get it. The fact is as someone being burglarized you have no idea what the intention of the criminal is and if you don't act by the time you find out their intentions it may be too late. It's only appealing to emotion if the act you are appealing to has no connection with the argument. However, rape is something criminals break into homes due and having a gun to shoot at said criminal can stop the rape from occuring.
