The thing is this. Unfortunately our justice system doesn't see it this way, but philosophically*, if you violate the rights of another, you have removed your own rights from the situation and they can respond HOWEVER THEY SEE FIT. Once you remove the mind, reasoning, discussion etc from the equation, and substitute force, you have opened the door to whatever the violated feels like.
I would say trespassing is a fundamental property right violation, and you do so and you're fucking asking for it. I have no idea if you're on my property "just passing through" or coming after me. And I think laws that say you can shoot someone in your fucking home but "only if you were justifiably threatened" (or however the various laws around this put it) are fucking retarded - how is it even a question?! I mean the exception is like a drunk high John Belushi shows up, raids the fridge, and crashes on the couch, but that happened AFAIK precisely once. and he's long dead now.
*Ayn Rand made this argument convincingly; unfortunately the specific one I have in mind is not easily findable online - probably in a book downstairs - so I am not citing, but rather paraphrasing.
You have the right (more like the ability or the choice) to 'try' to trespass on the ranch and deprive the owner of life, liberty, and property.
And the owner as the right (and the responsibility!) to keep you from doing so.
These should be viewed as natural rights, should be no need to enshrine it in law.
Unfortunately, we're way passed that. I'm surprised we have the right to inhale oxygen. If they had their way, we'd only breathe at the pleasure of the cabal.
Kill our be killed, eat our be eaten. I'd prefer we didn't have to regress to the animal kingdom to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our home and nation.
