I have probably thought about it more than most which is why i have made a point to closely study the laws dealing with this issue. Legality should not be an issue as I intend to be 100% within my rights in such a scenario.
The life of a criminal who has chosen his own path is worthless imo. He has sentenced himself to the causality of his path by virtue of his own actions. I have no sympathy for those who do not respect the rights and liberties of others. They're not worth my time, definitely not worthy of sucking my oxygen and barely worth the expense of my bullets.
Human life does have value but individuals who slink about under cover of night to steal a man's livelihood or his life piece by piece by stealing misc property (the money used to acquire property was earned at the expense of great portions of my time earing said money and is therefore a representation of a proportionate portion of my life) is not a human individual. He/She is a goblin and deserving of a goblin's fate, whatever that may be. I have no sympathy for goblins. They are not human.
Perhaps you should recline and meditate on the fact that some of us are tired of worrying about evils of the criminal element and will gladly stand our ground within the confines of the law to do what is morally right (take back our streets from said goblins). If that makes me and those like me a "tough-guy" in your book then so be it. I consider myself an American Citizen. Nothing more, nothing less. I think you might be surprised at the number of American Citizens who share that perspective.
I guarantee you will lose more than a wink of sleep. But whatever you need to say publicly to get ya through there.
