Gun control is like communism, looks good on paper if you lack the intelligence to see reality.

It's sad to see that a playstation is worth a persons life but this is what happens in a society where competition and dfesire to have more than the neighbor is the driving force of existence. The same thing happens amongst black kids that murder each other over a pair of shoes or a jacket.

These guys took the law into their own hands. They should have called the police, especially if they had evidence. Four angry guys come knocking at your door, what do you do? What was their intention? Did they have weapons, i.e. baseball bats or something? It still does not excuse the shooter. I can see a self defense stratagy.

This guy is an idiot and nothing in the story remotly justifies his actions. He is an adult, and as a result of living in the (partly free anyway) USA he had the FREEDOM to make choices, and he choose poorly.

Now with the help of the justice system, he will take RESPONSIBILIY for his actions.

Taking away all our freedoms won't make us safe. If goverment control and the lack of guns is so good, why is prison so dangerous?

It really makes no difference whether they came to his door to steal the game player, or to reclaim something he stole from them. It is still an extremely stupid reason to commit murder!!!!!! Good grief, murder over a game player? How childish. He's either an extremely stupid person, or a paranoid freak. He'll get no sympathy here. Some family is suffering terribly over his stupidity.

To clarify.... The shooter was the one that stole the PS (PlayStation) from the victims.... it wasn't the other way around.

They went to his house/dorm to get back what was originally theirs to begin with. He had no right to shoot them.

It's sad to see what the world is coming to.

What would you do if 4 men came to your door, to take your play station? Maybe you thought you were getting robbed, or beaten to death? How about getting all the facts before rushing to judgment? They went to his house, he didn't go to theirs.

Just a thought. IF "gun control" were expanded to include the U.S. gov't and military, do ya realize how many more people would live? What we need here is control of government, not guns.
