Untrue. Killing a person in real self-defense (note:several rules here) makes it NOT a homicide under the law where I come from (the U.S.).

Does the criminal's life mean nothing and it's okay to kill him?

Well, I think a real problem that many Americans will identify in the legal system is that it gives the criminals more rights than the victims. You see this argument all the time.
For my own part, a (violent) criminal's life is worth less than the victim's.
This is a real disconnect between the US and the EU (which, on this issue, includes you if not all of Canada).
I keep a sword by the bed, and I feel naked. As soon as I can arrange the permits, I will keep a gun near the bed. If you do otherwise, fine by me. But, I personally want to have the option to "run the metal through" any bandits I meet along the path of life. If you don't like it, well, stuff it. Live your life in your country and quit trying to dictate mine. [/QUOTE]Fine, you've made your point about it be not be counted in your system. My whole point is while the criminal be worth less, it's still a life. Do you believe just because he's a criminal, his death doesn't matter? Mind you, that I'm not trying to dictate your life, I'm just bring this up because this topic is about gun control.
Are you that paranoid about buglars that you're always to be sleeping with your gun??!
