Why does it seem like Americans are obsessed over home invasions? Do you have a lot of them?

Constantly see people online talk about "when the robber comes thru my door" or whatever, and some of it is memes, but a lot of it is just people legit discussing what the "best weapon" to fight robbers breaking into your house at night would be - Giving it so much thought as if it is a legitimate concern. So is it? Does it happen a lot?

  • Every damn day! When I was growing up my dad told me the communists were coming, and they would knock on my door and say I have to share my home with this group of homeless people, and if I said no then they'd shoot me (true story). Sure enough, soon as I bought a home, they showed up! Now some scraggly homeless dudes who talk a lot about taxes keep walking in like they own the place, drink my milk from the carton and leave it out, leave porn up (and even upload their own home made porn) on my computer, "borrow" my tools and they never bring them back, ordered cable and I got the bill... I could go on, but I'm going to Walmart to get a gun and put an end to this nonsense. Bastards don't even take out the trash or mow the lawn!!

    On a serious note, a couple years ago we had some people that would go around looking for unlocked side garage doors and stealing tools. I've got some things of value. But I'd rather them take that shit and file an insurance claim than kill someone, fuck that noise. Take all our shit, I've got my digital stuff locked down and it can all be replaced. If someone is breaking in to hurt us it's another story. I'm visibly queer and there's some seriously scary people in the suburbs, I keep a gun handy for those scenarios. However, psychotic right wingers in the suburbs seem to have this reverence for private property, so I'm honestly not too concerned.
