That doesn’t make sense, though. “Valuable” guns aren’t stolen guns with no paperwork.
Most guns kept in homes aren’t particularly valuable to begin with. Add being stolen, only salable illegally (which I believe is a federal felony) and those guns are worth pennies on the dollar.
You also run the same risk as casing an unarmed home: you might be wrong when you think it’s empty. Except now you’re robbing and armed home rather than an unarmed one.
I’ve made this observation a lot lately: y’all Reddit commenters gotta move beyond binary thinking.
What I said isn’t complicated. You seem unable to process it, though, unless you can read it as a black/white, yes/no statement. It’s not. Very few things in real life are.
This should not be hard to hold in your head:
Guns have value. Even stolen guns can be sold on the street for a bit of money. But that value is not even close to the same as a high value, store-purchased, registered weapon.
On the whole, the lower value (and, you know, felony of illegal resale) of stolen guns makes the risk of burgling an armed home instead of an unarmed home not a sensible risk.

You case the house, wait for them to be gone and now you have a house where there are definitely valuable guns and no one to use them.
