I am trying to find evidence that almost everyday there are people in the U.S being killed in their sleep by intruders. Intruders who bust into their homes shoot them in head, or slit their throats while asleep. I am sure these killings are happening in the U.S, just need to find proof.

The reason is I was talking to someone who thinks it is safe to leave your windows open at night. They don't believe these killings are happening.

I leave my windows open all the time. If someone wanted to get in, a piece of glass isn't going to stop them.

Also, I leave my door unlocked while I'm home including while I sleep. Also, I leave it unlocked if I'm only gone for a couple hours. I also leave my motorcycle in an unattended lot, uncovered.

Any more?

Same, except for the bike. I don't have one.

There's a difference between being cautious and being paranoid.

That's like 4 hours East down the 401 from me. Beer?

Sounds like the OP is into hysteria television - or is just paranoid.

I only lock my door when I'm not home.

Here is the FBI's annual report. Go nuts.

A total of 13.6k murders in the United States in 2009 (down every year since 2006, which was just above 2005), which is the most recent year for which final statistics are available. An interesting table here which shows that:

1. More people were murdered during arguments than every type of felony combined
2. Murders by a stranger in the commission of a burglary (basically the scenario you describe) accounted for just 68 murders in the United States (I included "unknown"). So more like once a week (or less, as one break-in could lead to several murders).

If you were instead trying to imply that criminals are frequently randomly breaking into houses and murdering all of the occupants for no reason, then no the data doesn't seem to support that at all.

Frankly you seem to have invented a narrative about "[w]hole families killed while asleep" with no real data to support it. I'm sure that such things do happen, but not with the frequency you claim.

I would assume the pictures you take are enough proof. :eek:

not frightened just aware that these killings are taking place. Whole families killed while asleep.
often times in those cases, the killer is already inside the house and is known to the family. in which case, locking doors and windows just slows your attempted escape and muffles your screams.

The idiot OP is a liar, and a shitty one at that. He's trying to prove that there's no need for citizens to own guns. Little fucker is constantly crying about it.

A lot of people are mentally too unstable to be allowed to have weapons. We call these people gunowners.
