4 armed suspects recorded on home invasion

This is a terrifying video of four armed men charging a man's home this last week. What happens next is brilliant. The homeowner defends himself with his own firearm and sends the four armed thugs running.

I would like to take a moment to ask all the anti-gun activists a few questions based on the video.

1) What do you think these four armed men were intending to do, not only to the individual in the home, but to anyone who encountered them in the process of their morning exercise?

2) Since assault rifles are illegal, how do you think the first suspect in this video had one in his possession? EXTRA CREDIT: Do you think the individual was aware or cared if the possession of his assault rifle was illegal? What social situations may have driven him to obtain this illegal assault rifle?

3) If this was happening to your home, what would you have done to solve or avoid this problem? Would your response and the options you take possible and/or available for those with a low to middle class income level to enact in their own homes?

4) Explain why you believe these four armed men may have more and/or equal rights compared to the individual inside the home they were running into. Who do you think has the ability to sue whom? Who committed a crime in this video?

5) Construct a linear timeline based on ten second increments for the following two situations: (A) The time required for the individuals in the video to approach in their vehicle, exit, and run toward the home. (B) The time required to call 911, clearly inform the dispatcher of the situation and location of the incident in progress, and for the police to arrive at the scene. Which is timeline is longer? Which is timeline is shorter? Do you think this may be important?
