Different country, different history, different rules.
I have not watched this yet, however, I had a friend who was a member of New Yorks finest. He said if someone breaks into your house and you kill him, no problem, someone breaks into your house and you just alter his bone structure slightly then you could have problems, ergo, make sure you kill him/her/them.

The main difference between us the the Americans is not gun ownership rules, that's just a detail. Many people here have guns (for a variety of reasons from hunting to sports shooting etc).
Gun ownership is coincidental to the issue.
It was not clear if Tryvon lived in the gated community or not, if not, what was he doing there, perhaps a 'short cut'. Perhaps this is the reason the shooter questioned him. I am not saying what happened was right, but it would show the shooter had a reason to question Tryvon.

For this reason I would like to see our volunteer army replaced with something on the lines of the Swiss conscription model, but without the ability to take their guns home with them.
Wasn't it something like nine guns for every ten Americans?The programme stated that the number of legally registered guns in the US almost equates to the entire population of the country.
