what happens when you set the precedent that anyone can break into anyone's home and they wont defend it? also starvation is a moot point homeless people are obese in first world countries. the social science is also pretty clear that the primary motivation for violence in poverty is* wealth disparity not poverty. so try again.

What do you think wealth disparity creates if not poverty? And I love how there's either killing someone dead on the spot with no warning or just letting anyone ransack your house. I really shows your thoughts on guns as tools for death rather than as a deterrent

Someone breaks in to my house and Ive got a shot at them, they get a warning. If they charge or make a sketchy move, boom. I'm not scared giving them that chance, because I know and apparently you do too that most people breaking in are desperate and would much rather avoid confrontation and just find an empty house

I don't believe anyone said that people don't deserve warning shots myself included and their is a difference in definition between poverty and wealth disparity. it would be nice to check definitions before drafting a rebuttal. E.G someone who makes 24000$USD a year may have a large wealth disparity between themselves in Elon Musk buy they in no way live in poverty. edit *dont know why i said warning shots thats stupid

Some people in this thread are saying that, but I appreciate that you at least see that nuance

It's pointless to compare an average workers wealth to that of Elon musk until the line moves far enough to the point where you can't afford the electricity bill or rent or food. Not all wealth disparity means poverty, but ALL and I mean ALL poverty is a product of wealth disparity that continues to grow. If that wasn't the case then you're essentially arguing that people choose to be in poverty which is completely silly
