Why does it seem like Americans are obsessed over home invasions? Do you have a lot of them? (hexbear.net)

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?

a lot of states have laws where you can legally kill someone on your property in "self defense" or whatever, so the fantasy is that you get to slaughter people on your property with no repercussions because "self defense". its basically like a testing ground for whatever cool new gun toy you got, rich white americans fantasize about testing their new insane weapons on "home invaders" (usually just any minority stepping on their property) because its legal.
