The other day I read about how even the banks are now hiring thugs to break into peoples houses and throw their shit out into the front yard. And these aren't even court sanctioned foreclosures. They're going after homeowners who are just two or three months behind or, in some cases, they target the wrong house altogether.
It's getting to be like the wild west all over again.
And you're wondering why people down here want to keep guns in their homes?

well there is probably no going back in the US as there are so many guns, if it were made harder to get them, there still so many out there previously. however, as much as people feel guns keep them safe, the easy availability of guns makes people unsafe, in my opinion.
here in canada, typically the only home invasions involving guns is one drug dealer robbing another. other home robberies are typically either done by kids or drug addicts who have a knife or nothing. there was one outside out of ottawa here a while back where the invader was killed with a baseball bat after threatening the homeowner with a knife.
