It doesn't mean that lying in wait in your home with a gun until someone illegally enters and then killing them in cold blood as they leave can ever be right.

If you can write this and not see the fundamental wrongness in it, I don't see that we can agree.
Perhaps Tony Martin was overzealous, perhaps not. But all the arguements you are throwing at me do not change the basic facts. A couple of CRIMINALS decided that Mr. Martin was an easy VICTIM and decided to rob him. Mr. Martin defended his property, which I and many on this side of the pond applaud him for.
Now Britain has made Mr. Martin the criminal for his "cheek" in wanting to be secure in his home and now makes a CRIMINAL the VICTIM. After all the 16 year old CRIMINAL has his whole life ahead of him (during which he can commit more CRIMES) while the VICTIM is just an old 'crackpot'.
I hope you do not personally experience the rising crime rate of muggings, assaults and rapes in England by CRIMINALS who care not one wit about your "Life, Liberty and pursuit of Happiness". Even worse, I hope that you, the VICTIM do not dare to fight back, least you become a CRIMINAL.
Maybe you can hire a security guard.
Poor me, I can't afford a security guard. I can afford a Kel Tec 9mm however. (Which strangely enough has killed anyone in my family.)
God made Men, but Samuel Colt made them equal. Even young criminals and old victims.
