It should be noted, in most places around the world, that's already been achieved. Both the UK and Australia are infamously bad for this. For example in Australia, if you have ANYTHING that you admit is for self defence, you will be prosecuted. The only time you may use an object as a weapon for self defence is if it's an object of opportunity. You have a moment to pause and get a weapon? Not an object of opportunity. You have a moment to fashion a makeshift weapon (like rolling a newspaper into a club)? Not an object of opportunity.
The state HATES the idea of people capable of defending themselves, because people that can defend against common criminals can defend against the career criminals that are the state itself. Self-Defence is hated by the state because it can be used against the state. It's that simple.
Restaurant with residence above. Guy breaks in restaurant and owner, fearing for his family in the same building, rearranges a few plates in the guy's skull.
Who got in more trouble? The owner, of course.
I just want simple rules, man. You break into my house where my family is sleeping and you forfeit your life. If you happen to leave with it, consider yourself lucky. Simple.

I always hate the people who say "well, you shouldn't try to kill these people, just deter them away with warning shots" and it's just so stupid, because wanna know what was the warning? The locked fucking doors. If you go further, that's your fault. Anything past that point, you forfeit your safety. You were warned, and you went further.
I fucking despite anything that is anti-self defence.
A lot of people store their sports gear under their bed for this purpose. Not just their bat or whatever, but all of it. Storing it separately is a sign of preparation, and makes it not a weapon of opportunity. Storing it where it actually belongs is a legitimate thing though.
Regardless, it's still fucked to the very core that self-ownership (and therefore the defence of self) is illegal. If you don't own yourself, you don't own anything. Which is, of course, the entire point of trying to outlaw self defence.
The left really wants to criminalize self-defense. You can tell they're still bitter about how the Rittenhouse case went.

I heard some story from... Germany, I think.

That happened to a restaurant owner in Minneapolis(?) during the Summer of Floyd. Guy killed himself after the DA decided to press charges.
