Burglar does a B&E on a family's house at 2:00 AM while they slept peacefully, waking up the one who has the firearm locked. (Mind you, the crime is already in progress, guns did nothing to prevent this nor could it without knowing it was going on.) Burglar chances upon a child's room as he enters the hallway, as he enters the room, he is shot in the waist. BOOM just saved the kid from getting raped.

lol sorry Avi, but I have to try to make your story a little bit more 'realistic'... Ill continue and write your last paragraph following the word BOOM:
BOOM the bullet streaks through the waist of the burglar through his back at just the right height the bullet strikes the child in the head. The young boy is killed instantly..
the burglar mutters as he bleeds on the floor, 'I'm a burglar, I thought nobody was home.. I was about to leave when I saw the kid.'
After years of arguments and alcohal abuse to help calm the fathers raging depression a fight between himself and his wife break out over whos fault it really was, who to blame for killing thier kid. In a fit of drunk rage the father once again goes to his firearm for a solution. He shoots the former mother and turns the gun on himself.
In the paper the mother of the burglar reads of the families passing. She remembers her son, a young individual who got in with the wrong crowd. He started abusing drugs and just wanted one more fix when he died.
Guns for self defense or protection are fucking stupid. Dont end up like this guy:
