I guess this will work if you live out in the midddle of nowhere. Otherwise I suggest we start a bussing service from the nearest inner city area to this location.

These would be the people who as kids had the "kick me" note taped on their back. Now it would read "rob me".

OK, I read the whole article and I still can't figure out if this guy is serious.
I just can't believe that someone could be so far gone....

I kept waiting for the punchline but that turd was serious! Natural selection is at work right in front of our eyes. It will be a short lived branch on the tree of human evolution. When his wife is gagging on a rapists d!ck and his daughter is getting her guts stirred he will change his mind.

this is pretend:

hi, my name's tom, i'm a robber. when i'm casing houses, i look for signs. when one house that says "protected by shotguns" and a house that says "protected by compassionate non-violence" the choice is clear. why face guns when i can face compassionate non-violence? i've made my decision, i hope you have to.

   "Our nation cannot claim to be whole as long as its citizens share the same definition of peace and safety as that of its military: perpetual pre-hostility. "

when lordtrader and eric the hun and others did their shooting get together, they had a lot of guns, but they all got along pretty well with each other. all those men liked to protect themselves, but they dind't go around shooting random people.

that articles argument doesn't really work.

The difference is, our signs will say that our home is "protected by compassionate nonviolence."

Good idea.  [b]"No guns here...we are unarmed"[/b] is much simpler to understand than [b]"This home is protected by compassionate nonviolence."[/b]  Maybe they know most idiot burglars/robbers won't understand what the hell they're talking about.

The message which an uninvited guest delivers when they break into our home is that our social responsibilities need tending to.

What a load of shit.  Kumbaya my friend...[puke]

If we silence forever that intruder with a bullet because we were "left with no choice," the facade of security bestowed by the firearm reveals a grave powerlessness: victimized once by the intruder, and again by being backed into the position of taking the life of another.

As opposed to being victimized by the intruder, and again being backed into being maimed/killed/raped, etc.  That's fucking brilliant.  So maybe I won't get hurt, but I've never been a big gambler, and those odds suck.

However, regardless of how reasonable or even heroic this standard may appear in light of a kill-or-be-killed situation, legal murder will not bring an end to the commonly shared disease of social irresponsibility that likely gave rise to the conflict in the first place. It only executes the messenger, and provides an indeterminate intermission of peace within the context of perpetual pre-hostility.

NO.  They need compassionate non-violence.
