And what's being mischaracterized.

Rather than saying people have no right to defend themselves in their own homes, some here mischaracterize such actions as administration of punishment.

Where's Pert_UK when you need him, eh?

Me, I have no difficulty at all in distinguishing between self-defence and punishment without due process. And I know exactly which one a law permitting anyone to "shoot intruders on sight" would be.

I could probably even tell you which bit of your constitution would invalidate a law that denied some intruders the right to sue for damages.

It's that old equal protection magic ...
