This "need" nonsense is inappropriate in America. People here are not serfs like in the UK.To defend themselves and/or their property and to frighten the burglar, guns aren't necessary in either case.
We don't have to convince you or anyone else that we need anything before we are allowed to have it. We do as we please and we don't bother to justify ourselves to anyone.
The burglary, violent or not, is always initiated by the burglar.Another pathetic attempt to deflect from the subject, we are discussing how many violent burglaries are initiated by the householder encountering the burglar, and how many by the burglar.
The fact that burglars are responsible for burglaries is self evident.Prove it.
