So at the end property crimes easily escalate into gunfights.
It also gives legitimacy for trigger happy people to kill others over TV set.
So ... happy shooting.
A nice psuedo-philosophy, but where I live if someone is in your home without your permission it's legal for you to shoot him, and while we have had many cases of homeowners shooting burglars, we have never had a single case of a burglar shooting a homeowner pre-emptively, as you suggest.

So your point is wrong, and in this case so are you.
