How do we stop home burglaries?

[HunterAcosta]

How do you know any of this?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Or should we? We know the 'look' and likely identity of burglars. We can lock them up preemptively bc we know what is in their 'black' little hearts. We can even have preemptive executions to make us feel safer.

In a hyper consumer based society where achievement is identical to what you purchase, possessions are the currency of life. And since property is theft like taxes is theft....I'm sorry, once you start tripping down that disjointed road of the libertarian apologist, authoritative shit on property rights just starts oozing out.

The burglar came for my TV and he left with cash and a hot meal. I can think of worse things to do to an intruder....like shoot him to death.

It can be proven statistically via rates of starvation in the local population as compared to rates of home invasion. If you think that people break into your home to steal your stuff because they are starving, then you should show a correlation.

I wonder though, what if the burglar doesn't want your TV? What if he wants your wife? Will you be as hospitable to this criminal then?

For realz., sub thug right ? Geez ....Some people man ...Hell why not just give him the deed to your house ? He obviously needs a home if he is so desperate to break into your house . Hell, car too. Can’t have him hoofing it or riding a bus or bike . Hell, why not just give him your clothes too? Just material things . Like u said , he may need to get his Rocks off too. May as well just let him and his friends stay at your pad rent free and bang your wife and kids . Only right thing to do . Gotta help our fellow socialist . If he’s a minority, even better . Get to be a social justice warrior too and help a brutha out ....obviously I’m being facetious but do people ACTUALLY adhere to this steaming pile of bullshit ( ahem ) doctrine / philosophy I.e. crap?! Really ?! I don’t believe it . Dudes a fucking troll.

I am sorry to say that robberies are down significantly, both in absolute numbers and as a percentage. Your hysterical fear is based on nothing.

Geese?

Geese aren't scared of anything.

If you're relying on guns to solve the issue then you haven't prevented a burglary. Preventing it is different to reacting to it. I know people will say 'oh well if everyone was armed there wouldn't be burglaries' but there's plenty of info out there to disprove that.

There's some video on youtube of a 9-11 call from an older couple- they have a german sherpherd I believe going crazy, and the woman is shooting at the door and the thief is STILL trying to gain entry.

If a German Shepherd and bullets aren't stopping him sounds like they might be dealing with something supernatural.

Agree. While this beautiful specimen is tearin limbs off it'll give you time to unlock the gun safe to finish the job.
Orrrr just get a Caucasian Sheppard and forget the gun lol

Ar15. If any are still alive then curb stomp.

Rifles are really, really noisy indoors.

I would prefer to go with a shotgun.

Wrong. The burglery is when they get away with your belongings. Shooting them prevents them from doing that.

Please link this video I want to see/hear it for the luls.

An alarm system and a big dog are your best methods for stopping a home burglary. I got myself a Cane Corso and she barks at everything that comes near my house. Best burglar defense is something loud, annoying, and dangerous to their health. When they have a choice of where to break into, they're not picking the house with the alarm system and huge guard dog.

yea, i have two trained Neo Mastiffs and never, ever had a problem. They are so big and protective of the property you would have to kill them to gain entry.

A 12 gauge would be nearly as noisy as an AR15 (5.56 itself is incredibly loud, terrible choice for HD, 300 BO with a can would be a better AR choice) I'd personally say go with a pistol caliber carbine or a sub-gun if you want the controllability of a long gun.

Correct answer is to keep LOADED magazines handy and not be like the good Samaritan in texas who had to find ammo, find magazines and load them before springing into action.

For people saying guns, they broke into an empty home. Somebody that rich should hire armed security when they're not home.

Guns, dogs and an alarm are good when you're inside the house. I live in an apartment inside a gated community and pretty high above the ground(no ladders can get in), so security is provided by the building itself. I have some small arms and I will be getting a couple dogs for my farm.

Like any other crime, I don't think there's a 'cure' for it, so to speak. But there are preventative steps one can take to make themselves a smaller/harder target. Home alarm systems, at this point, are something most homeowners should invest in. Especially those that soend long periods of the day away from home. Cameras are a solid deterrent as well. Buying a decent safe should be high on the list too.

In the future it will be easier. Hook up a body scanning system around the house. Any unidentified person with a weapon gets blasted by 50 calibre machine guns that come out of the walls. Once incinerated, robotic clean-up arms come out and clean the mess. Wait another 50 years. I can't wait. I fucking hate home invaders.

I really.... Really... REALLY want a Neo. Beautiful dogs.

Put this on every door.

Might help if you’re home or if they’re home invasion robbers. If they’ve cased you and are watching you leave it’s just letting them know there’s atleast one new gun for their collection. Burglars don’t come when someone’s home.

You can try to make it more difficult/risky for them but you can’t really stop them unfortunately.

100%. A guy shoots an intruder and all these bleeding hearts are like "OMG SO BECAUSE HE WANTED TO STEAL YOUR TV HE DESERVES TO DIE? DO YOU GET THE DEATH PENALTY FOR STEALING SOMEONE'S JEWELRY??"

You don't know what the bastard is in there for. Best to shoot first and live to give your statement to the police.

As a citizen of the United Kingdom of Pussies, I'm not allowed to own a firearm. There is nothing the police or government can do(yet)to stop me owning a Cold Steel Gladius Machete, though.

Most burglaries happen when the householders are absent; most burglars are cowards and don't want a confrontation. But some are desperate or stupid enough to risk it. If someone breaks into my house, I'm grabbing the machete. I've trained in Kali for a number of years, so I know the basic techniques, and the Gladius, like the Roman sword it's based on, is perfect for fighting in close. I will stab the intruder and I wont stop until I'm damn sure he's no longer even the slightest threat to me or my family. If that means he bleeds out, fuck him.

How about a cheap “fake” security camera.

100 round barrel drum solves the problem if you can afford it.



If you're on a budget ---

~$130.00 at Walmart.
