And??? Someone robbing your house isn't a good enough reason to start shooting people. If they were attacked it would be different.

Just had a look and most states have the same laws as the UK, they're only allowed to shoot if their or their families lives are in danger.

The British need a "Castle Doctrine" like in some US states.

States like Texas allow citizens protecting their homes, car, or place of business or employment to use force – including lethal force – when an intruder has unlawfully entered or is attempting to enter using force; is attempting to remove someone from the home, car, or workplace by force; or is attempting to commit a crime such as rape, murder, or robbery. An attempt to retreat is not required before a citizen is justified in using force against the invasive party in Texas.

I'm just poking fun with you EU bros. I know, we kill each other too much here in the states.
