- You win the mental gymnastics medal for the day. Apparently it's fake, even if it's true.
- This story is fake.. even if it's real!
Implying that a house where the owners don't own guns would have been the right one?
The reason burglars take guns in the US is because there's a good chance they'll run into owners with guns as well. So lots of people owning guns doesn't prevent burglary, it just forces criminals to take guns as well.
- Remember kids, Escalation™ is always the best way to reduce gun violence!
  
  Seems weird to argue that it's "escalating" to defend yourself from a home invasion.
Then they both shot each other and their kinds in error. FoxNews we know your bullshit games. Can all Fox News stories have a warning that it is Nazi propaganda.
The sheriff said the homeowners then disarmed the suspect, who was later identified as 62-year-old James F. Garrett of Seneca, and held him until deputies arrived.
I don't normally expect to hear about burglars in their 60s.
I love stories like this that have happy endings, I'm glad the homeowners are both ok
