You know, given the pervasiveness of this attitude, and with the recent Rittenhouse verdict, I wonder.

If it became a trend that the parents of these victims began to bring guns of their own to the homes of the parents of shooters, and began to murder them, what would be the reaction?

Because surely if you can stand your ground when walking the streets with a rifle, you can make the argument that it’s unreasonable to stand and accept the murder of your child without using lethal force in response.

The old “yes they deserve to die and I hope they burn in Hell” ploy.

Would that do anything but sanctify vengeance and vigilantism? Or does that already basically exist?

Obviously I’m not advocating it, though I am surprised it doesn’t happen more often.
