"So what was posted was a selectively edited quote which left off the salient point ... .." LOL.
The "salient point" is a matter of opinion. The reckless suggestion that a homeowner fire a shotgun through a door (under any circumstances, in any context) obliterates any other point he was trying to make.
There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who have read Orwell, and those who have not.
