I know many of you are against the freedom we have with our guns but does my heart good when this happens and the thief/rapist gets their head blown off. I'm sure it makes our "scumbags" think a bit before they go into a house or apartment.

I know where you are coming from, it might act as a deterent from actually committing the crime, but if the scumbag thought Granny had a gun under her pillow, wouldn't the scumbag just take a gun as well?
After all if you are asleep having a gun would make no difference, you wouldn't have time to use it.
Although it has increased gun crime is still relatively rare in this country. If Granny was allowed to keep a gun it would just mean more of the criminals would carry them too.
That said, I'm sure we'd all like to take a pot shot at the cowardly piece of **** who broke into this elderly woman's house.
