So you're saying stealing a television should be punishable by death?

Well duh...
Also what's this self defense bullshit?
What IF someone breaks into your house? What IF he wants to kill you?
What IF aliens land tomorrow and want to screw Jennifer Lopez in her current state?
All this what IF is not going to do you any good, especially since half of you probably don't have any shit worth breaking and entering for in the first place. Having a 50 inch plasma TV right next to the window however, like I have, is when you may start worrying about someone breaking in. It's also at that same point you should start thinking about getting an alarm system or double locks instead of buying a damn gun for when someone finally does break in.
We have a legal system for a reason and I think a specific rule that says that civilians can't be victim, judge and executioner all at once. You only get to be one of those, not all three.
In the entire gun legality debate, home self defense is the lamest reason ever especially if stop and think about what they are defending against. The argument is: If someone enters my home with a GUN then I need to have one too so I can shoot him just a little bit faster, despite the fact that I'm probably asleep. Now, the guy probably wouldn't HAVE a gun if they weren't so easy to get all over the damn place.
It's like saying you're scared of being hit by eggs, so you need some eggs yourself in case someone else has them too. Or you could simply take away the eggs and only give them to normal people who use them to make breakfast instead of throwing them around. Did I lose anyone with that metaphor? No? Good.
