If People's Homes are Their Castles, does that give Them Right to Kill?

   In America, the gun and the home make you king, and a king can execute.  I speak of the Castle Law, that law giving you the right to kill those bringing fear to you by entering into your home uninvited.

  Why we believe in laws like the Castle Law, I do not know. Every killing should be judged by its full circumstances, not just by whether the Castle Law made it allowable. We call it the Castle Law for a reason, after the thought that a man's home should be his castle. That line of thinking has led us to give the homeowner much the same right to kill as a king would have.
   And, that is wrong.

   Too often, when we see these news articles about homeowners protecting their homes, we conclude the homeowner was within his rights, because the intruder did intrude, and the homeowner was simply protecting his home and his family. It is as simple as that. Whatever other facts might exist do not seem to matter. The homeowner had the right to kill. End of story.

   The facts of a case are meaningless when you have the rights of a king.

   Can we not see this system of justice is wrong, and should have been left behind the day America was founded?

   Justice by gun rights? How far will we let gun rights advocates incur into the rights of justice?
