Well, I wasn't implying you were pro murder or anything. In general I'm all for protecting one's self,family and property. I have a serious problem with using excesive force when that force isn't neceserry, which appears to be the case here(granted as lukie's pointed out this is only one side of the story).

I'd be freaked out too if I came home and there were people in my house, but if I pulled a gun on them and said get the fuck out and called the cops, at least I wouldn't be a murderer, which it sounds like this guy is.

Gun control I think is a complete waste of time and effort, the question should be "What the fuck were four teenage boys doing breaking into a house for twinkies in the first place?"
