[Rhodes22-list] Prosecuted homeowner blasts officials

[Saroj]

I'm with you on this one... Our protective and judicial system is mildly
effective at posecuting after the fact, but does very little to prevent
tragedies.  For myself, I'm planning to learn to shoot a hand gun, rifle and
shotgun over the next two years and I wouldn't hesitate to use any of them
to protect myself and my loved ones.
