Not to get off topic, but I want to echo what Famcounselor is saying. These unprovoked crimes, especially against children and women should be dealt with publicly. If you kidnap and murder a 7 year old, you should be executed publicly. Let everyone see the consequences. As far as the home invasions, if homeowners start shooting these people, the crimes will diminish. Our society demonizes people who arm themselves to such a point that there is a large segment of the population who does not even know the basic fundamentals of self-defense and protection. As a result, kicking in someone's door, roughing up the family, and stealing their property is becoming a fairly safe crime for the perpetrators. The only way to change the criminal's perception is to put a few of them into the ground. What about that couple in Florida who were shot in their home by that gang of 7? They had a quarter of a million dollar camera system which was crucial in capturing the guys AFTER they had been murdered. If it had been me, I would have passed on the camera system, bought a Mossberg 500 and kept the change!
