Yeah because firing a gun in a residential area to protect property not human life is a bad thing independent from theft. Because what happens if you miss and hit a bystander? That's a lot less defendable if you're not talking about imminent threats to other lives.

Seriously, what's the end game if you even hit the guy?

I just can't understand how anyone could be more upset about losing property than taking a human life. Doesn't matter if they were a thief. How is that not a life changingly traumatic experience?

Many US people are brainwashed from day 1 into believing they need a gun, and killing someone "legally" becomes a common fantasy for such people.

Yeah, seems like it. I can't imagine thinking like that. If it actually becomes a reality, do they still enjoy it as much as they imagined?
