Here we go with the bloodlust and the salivating and the excuses for killing people again....
....only in America!
You are absolutely right!
We need to terrorize and kill more elderly people and then take their stuff!
What's the world coming to when you can't steal and rape an elderly woman without the risk of getting shot!

Who said life was threatened or there was any threat of rape? Could you point to that please? I have little to no sympathy for anyone who breaks into a house, but from the details posted this was murder, no more, no less. If you are happy with that then good luck. The person with the gun APPEARS to have made the decision to kill, not disable or use their gun to keep the kids from doing anything. That person didn't, they made the choice to kill them. Whether you like it or not, that is murder.
I know, I know, everyone wants to be John Wayne, especially when the source for this is bearingarms.com which couldn't be more forward in pushing a gun culture - nice how when people are manipulated based on their base instincts it's ok, any other way and it's the pesky government.

Honestly, who comes up with this crap?
Shoot to disable or wound? Shoot the gun out of someones hand. Warning shots?
Is this all you have?

I don't have anything, where did I say shoot the gun out of someones hand or where is it listed the perpetrators actually had a gun? You are making facts up and suggested I said them....
Is that all you have, cowboy?

It is pure cowardice to MURDER someone without an immediate, physical threat to oneself.

Real simple- If break into my house you'd better accept the fact that, at best, you'll be leaving on an EMT powered stretcher. At worst, the stretcher will be coroner powered. I've even provided a warning via a sticker (in the shape of a bullet) on the front door that states "Remington - Drop Dead Better".
Nuff said

Please explain "physical threat to oneself". Is that someone breaking into your house with no clue if they are armed or not, is that when the intruder has a knife at your daughter's throat, is that when the intruder has a knife 3 inches into your ribs... please explain when a person should react with deadly force.
Are you older, maybe not in good physical shape, have kids, etc... lots goes into what is a threat or not, but in EVERY one of these cases if the person(s) did not break into the house there would not have been a death.

It's also more than a little disturbing how people in this thread are collectively reinforcing each other's killer instincts. I believe you have read all the horror stories in the media, and are acting out of a fear that future encounters will be similar. But that's not how reality works. That's how media works - they scrounge around for the worst of the worst. You don't hear about the 99% of other times where kids broke into an old lady's home and got caught stealing booze, sent home to their parents and heavily reprimanded. THAT is reality.
People are not horrible monsters. Even deviants and punks are basically decent people. The sort of people who require lethal force are extremely few and far between. Dealing with situations with the assumption that you're likely to encounter such an individual is beyond fear, going into dangerous paranoia. You have to use intelligence - know your neighborhood. If you live in a dangerous place, get an alarm system. These things are dirt cheap these days. If you can afford a firearm, ammo, and some rudimentary training (which is not cheap, as I'm sure many here know), then you can surely afford a ****ing functional alarm system.
