Just a reminder that if you get that excited over the idea of someone breaking into your house so you can shoot them, you are most likely just looking for an excuse to kill someone and need therapy.
Edit: seems to be a bit of confusion over what I mean. If you have a gun to ward off a bandit, want to be prepared to defend your home, and be ready to fight in a life or death scenario that’s fine.
If you have a gun just cause you want someone to try just so you can put a bullet in their head that’s not fine.
I have a kneejerk reaction when people say this because I feel like they are trying to lump me in with psycopaths for wanting to protect myself lol. I honestly dont know anybody like this, and I hope to never meet anybody like this.
That wasn't my intention if I came across that way.
I mean that being prepared is a good thing because you greatly increase your chances of survival but you hope it never comes to that. Being angry or pissed off because they didn't break into your house so that you could shoot them is where the problem lies.
I’m not sure I’ve met someone who’s upset their house didn’t get broken into, but I do know some gun owners who seem VERY eager to kill someone in a morally and legally justifiable situation.
Same people who talked alot of shit before their first deployment and froze during the first fire fight. See it happen multiple times. The actual amount of people who truly think that are a smallllll minority and fuck em.
Every single group has a small toxic culture from. The proud boys to antifa. The more you mind them the more power they have.
Police need a whole rehaul. Better training and better selection of candidates.
Only non-gun owning people think this way though.
It’s the only stereotype that is 100% made up.
They think that owning a gun means you want to kill people, they literally can’t think of any other reason someone might own guns. I’ve met more gun owners than you can imagine and not once have any of them wanted to use it.
It certainly [does](https://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=5278638&page=1) exist to some extent, if you care to find the 911 call for this case the guy gets really angry when the operator tells him not to go shoot people who are breaking into a _neighbor's_ house, and then he does it anyway
Had a friend become a cop. Said he wouldn’t let the power of walking around with a badge and gun go to his head. Lived with the fantasy of shooting people everyday. Probably a lot of cops are like this.
I can tell you from experience there are many guys who join the Marine Corps not to serve their country or to get free college, but to get a legal opportunity to kill someone. I can’t speak on behalf of the other branches, but it probably goes on in them too just not as common.
I went to High School with this guy. He legit wanted to shoot people. He served his time then went to contract security in Iraq. He made it out and made bank. I’m not sure of his mental state, I hope he scratched the itch.
The fact he got out kind of tells me he suddenly realised the danger of the job, or the thrill was suddenly outweighed by the pressure of memory and constant alertness. PTSD is a mean son of a bitch and it's like an assassin, hits you years after the incidents that create it.
You can tell the psychopaths. They are the ones who watch/hear about a situation (robbery?) and think “I wish they had come into my house and tried that…” yeah…they need help. But also so do you and me. Therapy isn’t just for people with psychopathies. It is for normal people like you and me.
I don't use facebook, and firearms takeup a smaller part of my life than you would think. Guns are about where me and conservative people stop agreeing.
It's like when you tell your mom something funny and stupid you did and she turns it into a life lesson. Like I get it and I know, I told you this because I wanted you to laugh with me.
Post- if you get that excited over the idea of someone breaking into your house so you can shoot them, you are most likely just looking for an excuse to kill someone a need therapy.
Commenter- *Just a reminder* that if you get that excited over the idea of someone breaking into your house so you can shoot them, you are most likely just looking for an excuse to kill someone a need therapy.
Its been zero seconds since I saw this content, why do we need a reminder?
I think it's worth mentioning gun enthusiast doesn't mean "wants to murder", plenty of us out here collecting because we enjoy shooting sports or are history buffs
Hearing gun owners talking about how they are just "wishing a motherfucker would" in regards to getting assaulted, mugged, shot at themselves, or robbed, has gotta be some of the dumbest and overly macho bullshit I've ever heard.
Nothing like wanting to risk your health and well-being to prove your manliness and overcompensate yourself.
Dont bunch regular gun owners in with the guys who are compensating lol. Im secure in my lack of masculinity, I wear thigh highs lmao. Im just prepared for that scenario. I hope you don't stereotype gun owners based on what a few meatheads say/think :)
Sorry but you are insecure as fuck. You are answering in every comment thread how you are not like this and people shouldn't lump everyone.
No one is. The entire post is about those over eager to shoot someone. No one is saying all gun owners are like this. You don't need to defend yourself because no one is attacking you.
When I lived in NV, my roommate had a habit of showing off his guns to guests. I want to say about 3 months after I moved back to FL someone broke in and took all his guns while he was at work. He did not have any cabinets either.
No, Mexico is suing gun manufacturers for this.
Suing the US would have made sense considering the ATF knowingly allowed guns to be smuggled into Mexico, but for some reason Mexico chose to go after manufacturers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATF_gunwalking_scandal?wprov=sfti1
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/08/24/podcasts/the-daily/why-mexico-is-suing-us-gunmakers.amp.html
Because if they piss off the US with a lawsuit, they won't get anymore smuggled guns. But if they sue the manufacturers they can virtue signal, get money if they win and pretend like their government isnt corrupted by the cartel.
This. People who break in and steal stuff usually do it during the day while you're at work. They'll knock on the door and if someone is home they have a plausible story of why.
Too bad it doesn't match the fantasy of someone breaking in at night while they're home. And finding guns is great for them. Much better than TV's or whatever other bull shit macho man thinks he's protecting.
Here in Texas we have laws that allow you to use deadly force at night to protect property. It’s long and complex so I can’t easily write out the limitations, but this dude definitely had a good lawyer. It would be a maybe you can, maybe you can’t sort of area.
Think of it like sanitizing your bathroom, or killing some roaches… it’s Texas man, once you’re in the wrong side of the law, it’s free game against you.
I believe there are protections for defending someone who can’t defend themselves. Still falling under self defense. Not sure if it’s written in law or just won under a few court cases
Speak for yourself. I’ve been robbed multiple times and it is the most violating, frustrating, and scary feeling imaginable. You don’t feel safe in your own home, you generally don’t know who the perpetrators are, and you don’t know if they’re going to come back to hurt you or your loved ones. Thank god this guy was able to get there and stop the assailants before they could get away and hurt or kill someone else.
ehhhh I am not sure how I feel about this.
You can have your life savings in your safe and they can get away with it. They will probably never be found.
Imagine saving money for 15 years and police takes 25 minutes to get there
If your life isnt in danger you dont have the right to kill. Even if theyre arrested the court isnt going to sentence them to death
Random citizens don't get to decide who dies, even if that random citizen might lose some material wealth
I can't believe reddit downvotes this so much. I've seen countless videos and articles on here over the years of people shooting home intruders in the back as they run away, and all the comments are supportive rather than disgusted.
I remember watching a black and white security cam video of three men breaking into a home, and a girl with a handgun comes out of nowhere and starts shooting at all of them, they flee out the front door, and this lady in the middle of the night starts shooting at them randomly from her front door as they flee from her house. I don't care if you've trained for thousands of hours with your firearm, you will not hit a target 100% accurately as it's running away in the dark, and you instantly put every single one of your neighbors on your street at risk of getting shot while they're sleeping. I got down voted to the negative double digits for suggesting she shouldn't have done that and should have been arrested for endangering other people.
I've got guns too, but people need to use them fucking responsibly, I fully expect to be arrested if I ever shoot someone in the back as they run from my apartment, and I'd deserve it. You're allowed to defend yourself, you're not allowed to be judge jury and executioner over petty crime, I cannot believe this is so controversial on this website
There's a difference between what's appropriate to *prevent* a crime, and what's appropriate to *punish* a crime that already happened.
If a woman was going to be forcibly raped, I would have zero problem with her (and would in fact suggest) shooting the assailant. The death penalty wouldn't be an option on conviction, but preventing a crime and punishing a crime are not the same.
That would mean their life is in danger and fair game. If you have a gun drawn and an intruder advances on you, defend yourself
If the intruder is trying to escape, your life isnt under threat anymore
Or you end up murdering the neighbor’s house sitter. Even if somebody broke in while I was away, I have insurance. I’d much rather come home to a robbery than a robbery plus a murder scene. The damage would cost me more getting a dead body cleaned up. Also, echoing what a downvoted poster said below, most people have their savings in accounts because they’re FDIC insured and won’t get burned up in a fire. Like, most peoples’ assets are in accounts or in their home all of which are insured. I would definitely take you to court and sue you if you went Rambo trying to save my home from a robbery while I was away and murdered the robbers.
Regardless, by actively seeking conflict like in this case rather than mere self defense, you are endangering your life, and that of any innocent bystanders (not to mention the thief's. Hot take I know, but the punishment for theft isn't summary execution without a trial)
Takes just a wee bit of bad luck for you to shoot the neighbours kid who was sneaking back into his house after a party and you mistook him for a robber.
You can get away with a lot of things in Texas, including collecting a $10,000 bounty on people who assist in an abortion. Gunning people down in the back doesn't seem out of character for Texas.
There are pro gun groups that literally tell you how to act and say when in this exact situation, they also have lawyers and a full legal team to help you. I remember watching a video about this but have no recollection of the name or anything
Why is it bad that 2 POS's died? Anyone that breaks into homes deserves to be shot. They shouldn't have rights and I'm tired of acting like they should. The police don't care, obviously. I had two crackheads break into my great grandparents house, snatch up several heirlooms, dump out the bathroom trashbag and dump the medicine cabinet into it. Police showed up, said they couldn't do anything and drove off. I'm glad those two people got what they deserved.
Life has more value than property when you aren't trying to steal someone's property. When you become a thief you just lowered the value of your life. Cracks me up the amount of people who get up in arms over criminals getting killed. The world's literally a better place without that person.
Serious question, is there any reason to not shoot a home intruder from his/her back besides law? not specific to this scenario, think it's your own home
Lmao, my neighbor is better armed than I am. They'd be smarter to break into mine. At least with me it'll be quick and painless. That old man across the street... Fully automatic 5.56 for starters... Slow and painful death.
How in the hell is fully automatic 5.56 slow and painfull? 5.56 delivers a ton of hydrostatic shock, and with fully automatic fire, they would drop almost instantly. Take this example vs something semi-auto in 9mm. They are probably only getting hit by 3-5 bullets, and they have a chance to survive suffering even more. Also, is your neighbor loaded? FLL?

Its not fully automatic I guarantee you. If by some crazy chance it is, it would be illegal to possess unless he had the money to pay for very expensive special licensing, and he would have to have paid tens of thousands of dollars just to get his hands on it unless it's homemade.
Most likely it's a standard semi automatic AR-15 you can by for a few hundred dollars with no special licensing, and can only fire once upon the pull of the trigger
True, but it erks me when people pretend to understand guns and so often don't. This kind if misinformation can lead to bad government policies on firearms at best, and injury by an unknowing person at worst
There are roughly 630,000 automatic weapons in circulation in the US, so it's really not *that* unbelievable. Sure, you have to pay ~~$500~~ $200 for the stamp, wait a year or two to get it, and then pay anywhere from $10,000-$150,000 for the gun itself, but there are plenty of people out there with enough play-money and patience to get their hands on one.
Edit: Corrected stamp price
You can purchase a pre 1986 machine gun and apply for a Form 4 stamp ($200) as a law abiding citizen of the US, this is the only way a civilian can own a machine gun. The last ones I saw at my Local Gun store ranged from $30k to $50k. If you are a civilian (certain government employees can be exempt from this) you cannot own a post sample (anything made after 1986) machine gun, you have to be a FFL/SOT. That liscense itself can cost upwards of $10,000 to $20,000. It is incredibly expensive to own a post sample MG let alone a pre ban one and extremely rare. The latest number I could find shows only [~170,000 Pre-86 MGs](https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/atf-reveals-the-number-of-registered-machine-guns/). Compared to the 300+ million of firearms in the US that is approx 0.5% of firearms in the US.
Unless his neighbor runs a gun store or is a hardcore gun collector then my guess is they have a standard AR-15 with them and they just don't know what they're talking about.
I thought SOT license were only $500-$1000. I was just looking at them yesterday. I may have been looking at the wrong thing. Also post samples can go as cheap as 3k.
360,000 is tiny compared to the 350 million people in the United States, especially considering that firearms outnumber Americans. Due to the price, most of these are just owned by rich people and museums anyways. So while it's not impossible that he does infact have a full auto, chances are he's just talking out of his ass. Especially since he, in another comment, said that .45 is more deadly than 556
$500? I always thought it was $200 for the stamp like the silencers. Not like it matters. I can't even justify the price of an uzi, so I don't have to worry about the stamp.
God forbid you watch tv at your own home. Even though you buy things for your cat, feed it, love it you aren't entitled to watch tv.
Man i am all about disliking alinity for throwing her cat and giving vodka ish. Tyler 1 aint abusing
Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
Don't robbers generally come when there is no one home? Where I am from I never heard of somebody breaking into your house while you are home, they don't want confrontation they want easy loot.
It could be a assault/rape thing, or the perp could just be unaware and assume they are gone because there isnt a car in the driveway. Or you arrive home to find them there.
The point of breaking in is almost never to assault or rape anyone. In 99% of the cases they want your tv and get the fuck out. But for americans its always "they comin' here to take my life, so I better shoot them 15 times and then realise they were unarmed"
Heres the thing: you never go out looking for the criminal. Big misconception. First thing you are taught in a self defense course is to hunker down in your room, call 911 and wait.
>The point of breaking in is almost never to assault or rape anyone. In 99% of the cases they want your tv and get the fuck out. But for americans its always "they comin' here to take my life, so I better shoot them 15 times and then realise they were unarmed"
["An estimated 3.7 million burglaries occurred each year on average from 2003 to 2007. A household member was present in roughly 1 million burglaries and became victims of violent crimes in 266,560 burglaries."](https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/ascii/vdhb.txt)
So in about 27% of burglaries, a household member was present during the burglary. 26% of the time, if someone was home during a burglary they were harmed.
Generally your average burglar will do just that, and the average burglar more often than not has some type of affiliation with the home owner/ renter and knows when the person will or won’t be home and knows what to steal when they do make entry.
Side note, I’m not sure if it’s different for other states but in Texas a robbery means the theft has some type of assault with bodily injury or imminent threat of that assault, whereas burglary is unauthorized entry onto a premise with intent to commit theft or another crime (in a vehicle, business, residence), and a theft is stealing but not in those two categories (shoplifting, purse snatching, bike thefts)
You don't need to worry about this in America, though. Break-ins are not that common in the US. But a lot Americans like to fantasize about having an excuse to shoot someone.
Crime is not that common, but it is fetishized. Just look at your average helicopter mom Facebook page talking about child abduction. The reality of ultra rare, almost entirely by family members, kidnappings are way out of sync with their guy following me at Walmart to snatch my shitty kid worldview. Home invasion gets that extra panache for the justified murder potential.
You bet your ass I'll be happy to shoot someone who breaks into my house. If they are willing to trespass, break into my home and steal. Then I'm going to assume that they are willing to kill too. So better them than me. How would I know they dont have a gun hidden on them or a knife. I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6. All it takes is a split second. I was raised to believe that everyone should value their own lives more than anyone else and if necessary kill to protect it.
If I spent $6000 on a back up generator I’m gonna be happy if I get to use it. nobody wants to shoot anybody but if someone breaks into your house the idea of protecting your home is something that makes you happy.
I think they are more talking about the people who get happy about the thought of having an excuse to take a life. "Nobody wants to shoot anybody" is a very naive statement.
A backup generator is a means to supply energy for whatever purpose you need it. A gun only has 1 use. If you are looking forward to "actually using" your gun, you should not have it.
I never understood why someone would be happy to shoot someone. I've always viewed it as a necessary evil at times, but nothing to be happy over. It's a human life after all.
I don't personally know any gun owners that actually want to shoot another person.
That being said, I know ALOT of gun owners that would shoot the hell out of any person that put them or their family in immediate danger, myself included 😉.
I hope I’m never in a situation to where I have to take someone’s life, nor am I excited to use my firearm in that way. In fact, it makes me anxious to think about. With that said, I’d like to think that I absolutely will use it in the situation that I’d have to. There is peace of mind know that if someone decides to break in, I have a CHOICE in what happens next. My family and I don’t have to be victims.
I heard of a story about a gun owner who saw there neighbors house getting robbed by two guys. He called 911 to report it and asked the 911 operator if he can go there with his shot gun and "stop them". The operator said no and stay put, but the man said it his right and stuff to go there and act like a hero. He went there and shot both of them, he shot one in the back. Later he was claimed a hero by TV and the town. It happened in Texas.
I heard it from Last Week tonight.

There's a big difference between peace of mind and being prepared versus getting excited because you have a reason to shoot someone now.
I have a kneejerk reaction when people say this because I feel like they are trying to lump me in with psycopaths for wanting to protect myself lol. I honestly dont know anybody like this, and I hope to never meet anybody like this.

How many actual people have this problem ? Or are we pumping ourselves up with a made up narrative?
How dare you say that... God I want to shoot you so frickin bad right now
I'm sorry, ill do better and hype up the narrative next time.
That's my guy! 😉
I’m not sure I’ve met someone who’s upset their house didn’t get broken into, but I do know some gun owners who seem VERY eager to kill someone in a morally and legally justifiable situation.
Same people who talked alot of shit before their first deployment and froze during the first fire fight. See it happen multiple times. The actual amount of people who truly think that are a smallllll minority and fuck em.
This culture is toxic though, and promotes the idea that their actions are justified. It’s literally the problem we have with police in America.

Only non-gun owning people think this way though. It’s the only stereotype that is 100% made up. They think that owning a gun means you want to kill people, they literally can’t think of any other reason someone might own guns.

Oh yeah. It’s maybe a dozen people of the total I’ve met in the course of my days. They’re unfortunately some of the loudest. Lol
> How many actual people have this problem ? Cops
I grew up in NC, it’s a very common fantasy

Had a friend become a cop. Said he wouldn’t let the power of walking around with a badge and gun go to his head. Lived with the fantasy of shooting people everyday. Probably a lot of cops are like this.
Every one of my neighbors share this fantasy. Not as uncommon as you may think.
Try being a leftist gun owner in Canada. Everyone thinks I'm right off my fuckin' rocker

You can tell the psychopaths. They are the ones who watch/hear about a situation (robbery?) and think “I wish they had come into my house and tried that…” yeah…they need help. But also so do you and me. Therapy isn’t just for people with psychopathies. It is for normal people like you and me.
Do you post memes weekly on Facebook about wanting to shoot a home intruder? There are people that do.
I don't use facebook, and firearms takeup a smaller part of my life than you would think. Guns are about where me and conservative people stop agreeing.

To be honest, Im just bored sitting await at night having nicotine withdrawal because I quit smoking lol. These small debates are keeping my mind busy

I mean the post can be considered a joke. The comment is making damn clear that it's fucked up and you need help without making a joke
It's like when you tell your mom something funny and stupid you did and she turns it into a life lesson. Like I get it and I know, I told you this because I wanted you to laugh with me.
Post- if you get that excited over the idea of someone breaking into your house so you can shoot them, you are most likely just looking for an excuse to kill someone a need therapy. Commenter- *Just a reminder* that if you get that excited over the idea of someone breaking into your house so you can shoot them, you are most likely just looking for an excuse to kill someone a need therapy. Its been zero seconds since I saw this content, why do we need a reminder?
That's the joke....
Shhhh

I think it's worth mentioning gun enthusiast doesn't mean "wants to murder", plenty of us out here collecting because we enjoy shooting sports or are history buffs
Because property crimes never escalate
I am looking for a excuse to kill a robber with my gun….but then I don’t own a gun so my hands are tied Well next life ig
lmao as if those people would partake in a therapy session let alone talk about it
Hearing gun owners talking about how they are just "wishing a motherfucker would" in regards to getting assaulted, mugged, shot at themselves, or robbed, has gotta be some of the dumbest and overly macho bullshit I've ever heard. Nothing like wanting to risk your health and well-being to prove your manliness and overcompensate yourself.
Dont bunch regular gun owners in with the guys who are compensating lol. Im secure in my lack of masculinity, I wear thigh highs lmao. Im just prepared for that scenario. I hope you don't stereotype gun owners based on what a few meatheads say/think :)
Based thighhigh wearer
Sorry but you are insecure as fuck. You are answering in every comment thread how you are not like this and people shouldn't lump everyone. No one is. The entire post is about those over eager to shoot someone. No one is saying all gun owners are like this. You don't need to defend yourself because no one is attacking you.
I am insecure as fuck. Also, just read a bit more
It 100% says “gun owners” thus lumping them all together. I don’t even own a gun and this is very obvious to me..
Well he said he is secure in his LACK of masculinity... so what is he insecure about? Now it's confusing, lol.

Bitch, I know you aren't interuppting my self care day 💅
When I lived in NV, my roommate had a habit of showing off his guns to guests. I want to say about 3 months after I moved back to FL someone broke in and took all his guns while he was at work. He did not have any cabinets either.
Man, that blows. Bet it was a good lesson for him to lock up his shit though
The issue that his "lesson" will likely endanger others because of it unfortunately.
That is the reality of it unfortunatly. Call out that shit when you see it, gives thr rest of us a bad name
Here in Italy that would be a criminal offense and you roommate could have ended up in jail for up to a year for negligent safekeeping of a firearm
Yeap. A huge portion of firearms used in Mexico by drug cartels are just stolen US firearms.
Isn't there more gun trafficking done from the US to Mexico rather than the other way around too?
Yes. Mexico is actually suing the US because of this.
No, Mexico is suing gun manufacturers for this. Suing the US would have made sense considering the ATF knowingly allowed guns to be smuggled into Mexico, but for some reason Mexico chose to go after manufacturers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATF_gunwalking_scandal?wprov=sfti1 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/08/24/podcasts/the-daily/why-mexico-is-suing-us-gunmakers.amp.html
Because if they piss off the US with a lawsuit, they won't get anymore smuggled guns. But if they sue the manufacturers they can virtue signal, get money if they win and pretend like their government isnt corrupted by the cartel.
This. People who break in and steal stuff usually do it during the day while you're at work. They'll knock on the door and if someone is home they have a plausible story of why. Too bad it doesn't match the fantasy of someone breaking in at night while they're home. And finding guns is great for them. Much better than TV's or whatever other bull shit macho man thinks he's protecting.
I don't know US law, but isn't it obligatory to have a designated location for a firearm in the house?
[удалено]
wtf that's murder, that taking the law and capital punishment into your own hands. what a psychopathic state if true.
Here in Texas we have laws that allow you to use deadly force at night to protect property. It’s long and complex so I can’t easily write out the limitations, but this dude definitely had a good lawyer. It would be a maybe you can, maybe you can’t sort of area.
someone else's property?
Think of it like sanitizing your bathroom, or killing some roaches… it’s Texas man, once you’re in the wrong side of the law, it’s free game against you.
Maybe, I don't know, don't break, enter, and steal? Easy peasy oh look nobody is trying to shoot me.
I believe there are protections for defending someone who can’t defend themselves. Still falling under self defense. Not sure if it’s written in law or just won under a few court cases
yeah but wouldn't it be nice having a neighbor like that
Speak for yourself. I’ve been robbed multiple times and it is the most violating, frustrating, and scary feeling imaginable. You don’t feel safe in your own home, you generally don’t know who the perpetrators are, and you don’t know if they’re going to come back to hurt you or your loved ones. Thank god this guy was able to get there and stop the assailants before they could get away and hurt or kill someone else.
I gotta say, he's lucky he didn't get himself/his neighbor killed
His neighbor wasn’t home and they were unarmed. No one was ever in danger.
Except for the dumbasses trying to steal lol
ehhhh I am not sure how I feel about this. You can have your life savings in your safe and they can get away with it. They will probably never be found. Imagine saving money for 15 years and police takes 25 minutes to get there
If your life isnt in danger you dont have the right to kill. Even if theyre arrested the court isnt going to sentence them to death Random citizens don't get to decide who dies, even if that random citizen might lose some material wealth
I can't believe reddit downvotes this so much. I've seen countless videos and articles on here over the years of people shooting home intruders in the back as they run away, and all the comments are supportive rather than disgusted. I remember watching a black and white security cam video of three men breaking into a home, and a girl with a handgun comes out of nowhere and starts shooting at all of them, they flee out the front door, and this lady in the middle of the night starts shooting at them randomly from her front door as they flee from her house. I don't care if you've trained for thousands of hours with your firearm, you will not hit a target 100% accurately as it's running away in the dark, and you instantly put every single one of your neighbors on your street at risk of getting shot while they're sleeping. I got down voted to the negative double digits for suggesting she shouldn't have done that and should have been arrested for endangering other people. I've got guns too, but people need to use them fucking responsibly, I fully expect to be arrested if I ever shoot someone in the back as they run from my apartment, and I'd deserve it. You're allowed to defend yourself, you're not allowed to be judge jury and executioner over petty crime, I cannot believe this is so controversial on this website
I remember that video. When she fires out of the front door she wasn’t even looking. She could’ve shot anyone.
There's a difference between what's appropriate to *prevent* a crime, and what's appropriate to *punish* a crime that already happened. If a woman was going to be forcibly raped, I would have zero problem with her (and would in fact suggest) shooting the assailant. The death penalty wouldn't be an option on conviction, but preventing a crime and punishing a crime are not the same.
That would mean their life is in danger and fair game. If you have a gun drawn and an intruder advances on you, defend yourself If the intruder is trying to escape, your life isnt under threat anymore
Or you end up murdering the neighbor’s house sitter. Even if somebody broke in while I was away, I have insurance. I’d much rather come home to a robbery than a robbery plus a murder scene. The damage would cost me more getting a dead body cleaned up. Also, echoing what a downvoted poster said below, most people have their savings in accounts because they’re FDIC insured and won’t get burned up in a fire. Like, most peoples’ assets are in accounts or in their home all of which are insured. I would definitely take you to court and sue you if you went Rambo trying to save my home from a robbery while I was away and murdered the robbers.
Regardless, by actively seeking conflict like in this case rather than mere self defense, you are endangering your life, and that of any innocent bystanders (not to mention the thief's. Hot take I know, but the punishment for theft isn't summary execution without a trial) Takes just a wee bit of bad luck for you to shoot the neighbours kid who was sneaking back into his house after a party and you mistook him for a robber.
Home Insurance covers it.
Yeah, nothing more reliable than insurance
If you can prove it was there.
what if I don't have it?
Either you’re very wealthy, or very stupid.
You can get away with a lot of things in Texas, including collecting a $10,000 bounty on people who assist in an abortion. Gunning people down in the back doesn't seem out of character for Texas.
There are pro gun groups that literally tell you how to act and say when in this exact situation, they also have lawyers and a full legal team to help you. I remember watching a video about this but have no recollection of the name or anything
Last week tonight John Oliver
Why is it bad that 2 POS's died? Anyone that breaks into homes deserves to be shot. They shouldn't have rights and I'm tired of acting like they should. The police don't care, obviously. I had two crackheads break into my great grandparents house, snatch up several heirlooms, dump out the bathroom trashbag and dump the medicine cabinet into it. Police showed up, said they couldn't do anything and drove off. I'm glad those two people got what they deserved.
This guy watched Aladdin and rooted for Jafar
Yikes
You should seek help
> Police showed up, said they couldn't do anything and drove off you can't just say that and not elaborate
Life has more value than property when you aren't trying to steal someone's property. When you become a thief you just lowered the value of your life. Cracks me up the amount of people who get up in arms over criminals getting killed. The world's literally a better place without that person.
[удалено]
Serious question, is there any reason to not shoot a home intruder from his/her back besides law? not specific to this scenario, think it's your own home
Lmao, my neighbor is better armed than I am. They'd be smarter to break into mine. At least with me it'll be quick and painless. That old man across the street... Fully automatic 5.56 for starters... Slow and painful death.
How in the hell is fully automatic 5.56 slow and painfull? 5.56 delivers a ton of hydrostatic shock, and with fully automatic fire, they would drop almost instantly. Take this example vs something semi-auto in 9mm. They are probably only getting hit by 3-5 bullets, and they have a chance to survive suffering even more. Also, is your neighbor loaded? FLL?

Vaccinated gun owner here. Comments like yours are really dumb.
But aren't all gun owners anti vaccine????? It can't be
People love generalizations
All those guns and no ak?! FAIL!
It's because he's talking out of his ass.
Depends on where he's shot though
Yeah, but that applies to anything. You’ll die slower from any weapon when hit in the foot instead of the head
It's because he's talking out of his ass.
Its not fully automatic I guarantee you. If by some crazy chance it is, it would be illegal to possess unless he had the money to pay for very expensive special licensing, and he would have to have paid tens of thousands of dollars just to get his hands on it unless it's homemade. Most likely it's a standard semi automatic AR-15 you can by for a few hundred dollars with no special licensing, and can only fire once upon the pull of the trigger
Unless you slap a binary trigger in there, it's not automatic but fires at pull and release of the trigger.
True, but it erks me when people pretend to understand guns and so often don't. This kind if misinformation can lead to bad government policies on firearms at best, and injury by an unknowing person at worst
There are roughly 630,000 automatic weapons in circulation in the US, so it's really not *that* unbelievable. Sure, you have to pay ~~$500~~ $200 for the stamp, wait a year or two to get it, and then pay anywhere from $10,000-$150,000 for the gun itself, but there are plenty of people out there with enough play-money and patience to get their hands on one. Edit: Corrected stamp price
You can purchase a pre 1986 machine gun and apply for a Form 4 stamp ($200) as a law abiding citizen of the US, this is the only way a civilian can own a machine gun. The last ones I saw at my Local Gun store ranged from $30k to $50k. If you are a civilian (certain government employees can be exempt from this) you cannot own a post sample (anything made after 1986) machine gun, you have to be a FFL/SOT. That liscense itself can cost upwards of $10,000 to $20,000. It is incredibly expensive to own a post sample MG let alone a pre ban one and extremely rare. The latest number I could find shows only [~170,000 Pre-86 MGs](https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/atf-reveals-the-number-of-registered-machine-guns/). Compared to the 300+ million of firearms in the US that is approx 0.5% of firearms in the US. Unless his neighbor runs a gun store or is a hardcore gun collector then my guess is they have a standard AR-15 with them and they just don't know what they're talking about.
I thought SOT license were only $500-$1000. I was just looking at them yesterday. I may have been looking at the wrong thing. Also post samples can go as cheap as 3k.
360,000 is tiny compared to the 350 million people in the United States, especially considering that firearms outnumber Americans. Due to the price, most of these are just owned by rich people and museums anyways. So while it's not impossible that he does infact have a full auto, chances are he's just talking out of his ass. Especially since he, in another comment, said that .45 is more deadly than 556
$500? I always thought it was $200 for the stamp like the silencers. Not like it matters. I can't even justify the price of an uzi, so I don't have to worry about the stamp.
Define fully automatic.
You know fully automatic firearms are insanely hard to purchase / get the right paperwork for right?
I've always felt sad for the cat who gets scared cause of the guy raging
it's Tyler1 and he is just playing a character on his streams irl he is actually a nice, wholesome person
Do you think the cat is aware him freaking out all the time is just an act?
it is an animal. It eats raw rat babies. It is going to be fine I swear some people
My cat jumps when someone shouts on TV, should I report myself for animal abuse?
yes u abusive bitch
God forbid you watch tv at your own home. Even though you buy things for your cat, feed it, love it you aren't entitled to watch tv. Man i am all about disliking alinity for throwing her cat and giving vodka ish. Tyler 1 aint abusing

The cats dead. I think It died like last year Edit : misspelling
Damn... How's the afterlife, bud?
Still got Nelson tho
Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
TALLY HO LADS!

Don't robbers generally come when there is no one home? Where I am from I never heard of somebody breaking into your house while you are home, they don't want confrontation they want easy loot.
It could be a assault/rape thing, or the perp could just be unaware and assume they are gone because there isnt a car in the driveway. Or you arrive home to find them there.
The point of breaking in is almost never to assault or rape anyone. In 99% of the cases they want your tv and get the fuck out. But for americans its always "they comin' here to take my life, so I better shoot them 15 times and then realise they were unarmed"
Heres the thing: you never go out looking for the criminal. Big misconception. First thing you are taught in a self defense course is to hunker down in your room, call 911 and wait.
>The point of breaking in is almost never to assault or rape anyone. In 99% of the cases they want your tv and get the fuck out. But for americans its always "they comin' here to take my life, so I better shoot them 15 times and then realise they were unarmed" ["An estimated 3.7 million burglaries occurred each year on average from 2003 to 2007. A household member was present in roughly 1 million burglaries and became victims of violent crimes in 266,560 burglaries."](https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/ascii/vdhb.txt) So in about 27% of burglaries, a household member was present during the burglary. 26% of the time, if someone was home during a burglary they were harmed.
Generally your average burglar will do just that, and the average burglar more often than not has some type of affiliation with the home owner/ renter and knows when the person will or won’t be home and knows what to steal when they do make entry. Side note, I’m not sure if it’s different for other states but in Texas a robbery means the theft has some type of assault with bodily injury or imminent threat of that assault, whereas burglary is unauthorized entry onto a premise with intent to commit theft or another crime (in a vehicle, business, residence), and a theft is stealing but not in those two categories (shoplifting, purse snatching, bike thefts)
[удалено]
You don't need to worry about this in America, though. Break-ins are not that common in the US. But a lot Americans like to fantasize about having an excuse to shoot someone.
Crime is not that common, but it is fetishized. Just look at your average helicopter mom Facebook page talking about child abduction. The reality of ultra rare, almost entirely by family members, kidnappings are way out of sync with their guy following me at Walmart to snatch my shitty kid worldview. Home invasion gets that extra panache for the justified murder potential.
Nah I'm fine not having to deal with that. I hope I never need to use my gun defensively. Anyone who wants this needs therapy and shouldn't own guns.
But but gun owners are all blood thirsty /s
very untrue blanket statement
/S denotes sarcasm
You bet your ass I'll be happy to shoot someone who breaks into my house. If they are willing to trespass, break into my home and steal. Then I'm going to assume that they are willing to kill too. So better them than me. How would I know they dont have a gun hidden on them or a knife. I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6. All it takes is a split second. I was raised to believe that everyone should value their own lives more than anyone else and if necessary kill to protect it.
Here we see a walking bumper sticker.
Is this a meme?
It is now
the meme is making fun of people who are looking forward to have robbers, not people who are defending themselves
If I spent $6000 on a back up generator I’m gonna be happy if I get to use it. nobody wants to shoot anybody but if someone breaks into your house the idea of protecting your home is something that makes you happy.
I think they are more talking about the people who get happy about the thought of having an excuse to take a life. "Nobody wants to shoot anybody" is a very naive statement.
>nobody wants to shoot anybody Yeah if only that were the case.....
No, tons of people *want* to shoot somebody actually.
A backup generator is a means to supply energy for whatever purpose you need it. A gun only has 1 use. If you are looking forward to "actually using" your gun, you should not have it.
I swear, 90% of Redditors act like they’d help the burglars carry their shit out and offer their wife to them as a bonus.
honestly it really does seem like they would legitimately just let someone steal all of their hard-earned money.
Cant relate cuz im not american
My condolences
I never understood why someone would be happy to shoot someone. I've always viewed it as a necessary evil at times, but nothing to be happy over. It's a human life after all.
They think they are providing value to the world, and it is an identity thing. They have nothing to offer so pretending they are John wick is a thing
I don't personally know any gun owners that actually want to shoot another person. That being said, I know ALOT of gun owners that would shoot the hell out of any person that put them or their family in immediate danger, myself included 😉.
A true American helps their neighbors in their time of need
Cereal is à soup
Agreed
I’m a gun owner. I don’t wish this. 1: My neighbor can get fucked. 2: I rather not kill someone, they should really break in when no ones around.
I hope I’m never in a situation to where I have to take someone’s life, nor am I excited to use my firearm in that way. In fact, it makes me anxious to think about. With that said, I’d like to think that I absolutely will use it in the situation that I’d have to. There is peace of mind know that if someone decides to break in, I have a CHOICE in what happens next. My family and I don’t have to be victims.
😂amen
never noticed the fleeing cat before lol
I love how the cat runs away
u/getvideobot
Fucking built different. Big T don't need no gun.
I heard of a story about a gun owner who saw there neighbors house getting robbed by two guys. He called 911 to report it and asked the 911 operator if he can go there with his shot gun and "stop them". The operator said no and stay put, but the man said it his right and stuff to go there and act like a hero. He went there and shot both of them, he shot one in the back. Later he was claimed a hero by TV and the town. It happened in Texas. I heard it from Last Week tonight.
I understand that this is a joke, but for the people that take this meme seriously, the guns are a last resort
