Wow, you've got to be kidding me. That's some messed up belief system you've got there. Let's just hand the keys over to evil people and let them have their way.

EDIT: And on your second 'point' (I'm being generous by calling it a point), he's coming in with a handgun, I'm greeting him with a 12 guage shotgun loaded with home defense shot, in that case the intruder is most likely dead, my whole family is safe, and a horrible murder has been avoided, plus the perpetrator cannot kill anybody else (cops, other innocent people). Your scenario involves giving victory to the bad guy in every case.

Yes, because a few people dying like that is worth it. How many people die in terrorist attacks in the West per year? And HOW much are we spending on it, or curbing people's liberty in the name of prevention? Same thing.

You can't seriously believe that allowing guns causes your scenario to happen every time? Brave homeowner shoots killer thief etc etc
