egging a car, as dangerous as it is, is not on the same level as shooting someone in the chest.

Actually, egg-throwing is potentially more dangerous since one egg landing the right way, and frightening the driver, could create a scenario whereby many are seriously injured and/or killed..

On the other hand, how many people can die from one bullet?

Potentially more dangerous. But shooting someone in the chest it actually more dangerous; there's no potentiality at all, really. But these are philosophical quibbles. The question is: does egging someone's car justify chasing them down and gunning them down? I do no think so.

Well if you line them up just right and use a .50 cal ....

In YOUR opinion. That's not what the law says...in any state except maybe Texas. Even then, I doubt Texas law would look kindly on the shooter in this case.

Irrelevant. One is the same as one thousand in terms of consequences. If a shooting resulting in one or more human fatalities does not meet the standard for SELF DEFENSE under the law, then that person must be held accountable according to the law. An incident like this is a wet dream for those who would take our right to bear arms. So as to numbers of people dying, well.... How many times can a murderer be executed?

Somebody just accused me of killing a serious thread with a little levity. I trust this post has returned us to regularly scheduled programming?
