Easy to criticise from here. There is seemingly a totally different attitude there, usually as a result of experience. To live in a peaceful neighbourhood is tantamount to an invitation to many of the dispossessed and rootless. Or just plain criminal.
I've never raised my hand to anyone, other than boxing club at school (!), but I know if my family were in danger I would not hesitate to use whatever means at my disposal to deter or ultimately stop anyone from harming them. I’m basically anti-gun but when the society in which you live is feral, which though is not everywhere but is in many areas, I would take any legal action I could.
There are precautions that the gun-smiths could take. Like embedding micro chips in critical components, after all we don’t object to the millions of phones that contain them! That could identify where a particular gun was when it was fired and, critically, where it was located when the whereabouts of the owner was needed, registered or not.
