But you're making absolute statements and it's just false.

And you're just flat out incorrect

https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/35.20

A person in possession or control of, or licensed or privileged to be in, a dwelling or an occupied building, who reasonably believes that another person is committing or attempting to commit a burglary of such dwelling or building, may use deadly physical force upon such other person when he or she reasonably believes such to be necessary to prevent or terminate the commission or attempted commission of such burglary.

This is a complete fantasy. You don't even have to ensure that they are armed they represent a fatal threat by breaking into your house with you in it you would have every right to shoot them immediately

NY is way too small to hold 8.2 billion people.

That's fine. It's almost like the law has nuance.

Go read that NY law I posted to your above comment and tell me that an armed person using deadly force against an unarmed person is always illegal in New York.

edit: yeah, gedafukouddahea!

Go ask a criminal attorney if there’s a self defense claim

If you had ever followed that advice, you wouldn't be repeating this nonsense. You would have learned the 6 general criteria required for a self defense claim, and that none of those criteria require the defender to be less-well-armed than the attacker.

This subject is too serious for your uninformed opinion. PM me your zip code, and I would be happy to find you a class on the laws regulating self defense.
