Joe insists that this burglar's injuries are the result of a 12 year old girl having access to a gun.
He isn't real big on taking responsibility for one's actions.
Did I WANT to shoot the man that was breaking down my door to rape my wife? Hell no!. Would I have lost any sleep had I filled his chest with buck shot? Nope.
Would that man's death have been my fault? Nope. It would have been my duty. Would it have been the fault of Miller Brewing Company? No again his fault for drinking too much of their product. Mossberg? Nope. Remmington's ammunition? Uh uh. It would have been old drunk Doug's fault.
I'm saying if we live in a society where we find it perfectly acceptable that a man is giving a choice between crime and starving, and he takes a chance on crime, there is something wrong with out society.
Now, this guy might well have been a social misfit. We have a lot of them.
Maybe your friend Doug (seriously, you were on a first name basis with the guy who attacked your family?) had serious issues, too. Honestly the whole thing sounds a bit too trailer park for me.
