    Really? Most people in my area that would be trying to break in or steal stuff out where I live would be white. Nothing racists about it.
    To answer to orginal question; yes I have several guns in my bedroom and they are all loaded (no kids in the home), not to mention the several more guns around the house or the couple of dogs that do not like someone trying to get in their house at night. Is it paranoid, nope, it is called being prepared.

    this is one time the race card won't play
    How is it racist to keep a gun? Do you even know what racist means? Or are you just tossing trash out?

    Are you being sarcastic? If you are your comments are hilarious! If not they are pathetic and irritating. Why? Read on my mixed up comrade read on; I find many anti-firearm people in the USA* are for the most part socialist and alien to the concept of freedom and related ideas. Many of them readily admit and are proud of the fact that they despise the concept of national sovereignty. Most anti-firearm people of the ilk I mention are generally, fearful of life so its no suprise that taking on the responsibility of their own security is horrifying or worse....lol. Heck for that matter they are so fearful of freedom they would run over granny to give the chore of self defense to someone else .

    I think the reason that type antigun people are so seemingly irrational is because they were indoctrinated into a leftist/socialist paradigm nearly from birth. They do not understand the kind of rights described by the founding fathers. By rights I mean those noble and lofty concepts described by the bill of rights and other constitutional documents that were created by the founding fathers of the USA. I am sure God helped guide the pen or quill at times when mere mortals struggled…but I digress. The key idea is that individual RIGHTS trump nearly all else for a citizen of the USA. I do not expect the anti gun people of this nation and especially the citizens of other nations to truly understand our passion and our love of those rights described by our early documents.


    * I am speaking about the USA because it’s the only culture I have ten or more years of experience. I was not born here but have lived here most of my adult life.

    Who said trespass is a capital offense? Not where I live it isn't. I have no idea why someone wants to enter my home illegally nor do I intend to ask. Look up Castle Laws in the state of Illinois.

    If you shoot them dead then it is in effect capital punishment

    And Castle law is an excuse to commit legal murder

    That's you're opinion which is contrary to the law. And it is rejected.

    Invading some one's property is a CRIME. We don't bother to ask what they are going to steal or who they are going to rape. It only becomes a capital offense when the perps choose to make that decision.

    And not all Americans agree with you, yet you make sweeping statements about Americans all the time... Hypocrisy much?

    Fair enough, though the issue in that instance would be their annoying personality/mentality - and have nothing to do with their opinions on gun control.

    It is an old idea that I have never heard of being used. I'm not even sure it's accurate historically. Dickens was a novelist.....

    Dickens was based on fact - and it is not unknown for small children to be used to aid burglary
