I do not get gun people. I won't ever.
I would much rather that we, as a society, at least THINK about rehabilitation before we sensationalize killing someone who is in a shittier situation than we are in.
Using a gun to defend your home is your right in most states of the USA. Maybe all. Fine. How the hell did we as AMERICANS get to a point where bragging about one's ability to kill an intruder has usurped the desire to figure out why people make choices that drive them to steal, and how to intervene to prevent that outcome? Why do we punish and not rehabilitate? Tens of thousands of prisoners in the US, and almost none get actual rehabilitation; they just get education from other inmates on legal loopholes, advice on more efficient crime techniques, and leads on more profitable crimes in general. Our judicial system is oriented towards exacting revenge on the guilty (and also many innocent) people, rather than giving them what they need to become productive citizens instead of tax burdens for us all.
So if you're going to point a gun, point it at me. I believe in what is apparently the most UnAmerican belief of all; that we were created equal and that everyone deserves help to become a productive citizen, yes, even if they're over 18. So point that gun and shoot me, because I am going to believe in rehabilitation over revenge for the rest of my life. And so are all four of my children. And all of their children. And theirs. So you better choot this commie Rigby right now.
