We would any reasonable, sensible person want to ‘gut’ Castle Doctrine?

In Texas after sundown people can use deadly force to protect property without being personally threatened at all. For instance shooting to death someone breaking into a car parked in your driveway or trying to steal clothes off a backyard clothesline. The proposed legislation would remove this as allowed under the law. Of course the actual text of the legislation was not included in the article for obvious reasons.

Sigh, I have again an opportunity to educate you. First, you must provide a link to substantiate your wild little rant - after all, you are an unreliable, untrustworthy person.

Gladly, as soon as you provide one to the actual text of the legislation rather than some nutters website.

Kamala Harris promised to strip every American of their guns. While she also demands defunding the police department.
Now how are we going to defend ourselves when the democrat thugs/mobs attack us? Loot, and steal our cars and properties, while they knock us down?

Ah yes - the old leftist whining ‘I can’t refute what you say so I’ll just say I don’t like your source’.
You sound like SSDD...

The Texas Castle Law includes: " Theft & criminal mischief during the nighttime"
Sec. 9.42. DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT PROPERTY. A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property:
(1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.41; and
(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:
(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, "theft during the nighttime", or "criminal mischief during the nighttime"; or
(B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or "theft during the nighttime from escaping with the property"; and
(3) he reasonably believes that:
(A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by any other means; or
(B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.

Here is a little reading for your edification. Be sure to read everything. It will take a little time but read and check resources also.

You are upset that extreme measures can be used against "law breakers",? Don't steal and no problem, what a solution. Guns do not kill people. Those of lower learning that can't or won't control their anger use guns to kill people. They can also blow people up, beat them to death with baseball bat, use knives, etc. Guns are not the only item available to them to use. What we need to work on is improving self restraint of our anger. That is the real problem!
