Following the shooting, the suspects fled from the scene.
Authorities say that out of five people shot, three of them died.
At some point, officers with guns drawn were seen searching a port-a-potty.

Thankfully he had a Defense rifle with a magazine capable of holding 30+ rounds.
Yet another person was able to use a Defense rifle to protect himself and his property, in this case, an AK-47.
But dont feel too bad for the would be criminals, they returned fire as they fled.
Also keep in mind that the homeowner was only 20 years old. Trump wants to change this.

Trump's suggestion that we raise the age of gun ownership to 21 is just as onerous as any regulation imagined by Democrats. The constitutionalist judges he just appointed to the SCOTUS and 9th Circuit will ensure his view never sees the light of day.

Instances like this are what pro second amendment people need. But the circumstances surrounding this particular event will give the left more ammunition. ( pardon the pun )
Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008.
In 1996, 1997, and 1998, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conducted large-scale surveys asking about defensive gun use (DGU) in four to six states. Analysis of the raw data allows the estimation of the prevalence of DGU for those areas. Estimates based on CDC’s surveys confirm estimates for the same sets of states based on data from the 1993 National Self-Defense Survey (Kleck and Gertz 1995). Extrapolated to the U.S. as a whole CDC’s survey data imply that defensive uses of guns by crime victims are far more common than offensive uses by criminals. CDC has never reported these results.

Unfortunately for the second amendment people, these instances are extremely rare.
Why? Because, five armed guys don't typically try to burglarize a home while the owner is home with an AK-47 in an inner city neighborhood.
Inner city? It says Texas man, he was probably white and minding his own business. One of several patriots down there exercising his right because of illegal immigrants.
It's not about the left. I'm not "the left" I'm just a free thinker, free speaker, not tied to agendas, party lines, all of the huff and puff whiney tit for tat nonsense. "They're doing this!", "They're trying to do this to us!". Yes, it's all very personal. They know you're harmless, they just want your guns because you're a Republican.
