I agree. But I don't see how anyone could feel so endangered by few 13 year old kids running with their backs to you with pockets full of your stuff (be it twinkies, DVDs or jewlery), that they need to take one of their lives.

Bottom line: the average person is too stupid to make judgment calls about who lives and who dies, which is why guns SHOULD be restricted.
