Do self-defence laws (US) allow vigilantes to kill with impunity ?

It allows certain people to kill with impunity, and always has. Whether or not they [b]are[/b] viewed as defending themselves depends on how dangerous the victim is perceived. 😳

As others have pointed out if they use a gun the answer is yes. The US has an alarming cult of the gun that involves bizarre weapon worship that I can only find something vaguely equivalent in feudal Japan with the katana.

Not really, no; self defense laws are an affirmative defense in the US, meaning you have to prove you had reason to believe killing the person was necessary to protecting yourself in that moment. I tend to think it should be legal to kill anyone who breaks into your home without having to prove they were about to kill you, for no reason other than to take the onus off of innocent, traumatized people who were just trying to protect themselves and their families.

No. Where I’m at anyway, you have to prove that there was no possible way you could escape. I had an instructor who put it perfectly: “Prison is full of women who couldn’t prove there was no way out.”

No, they do not. Now if you're referring to the Rittenhouse case, he was chased, struck, knocked down, and one of his assailants admitted to pointing a gun at him. My prediction is he will be exonerated.

With a gun. Yes.

Imagine if these idiots were running around and slicing people with machetes instead of assault rifles.

If only.🙄

No, my [b]indoctrinated[/b] friend, that's what you believe because you have been [b]indoctrinated[/b] by left wing propaganda.

Plenty of people have explained it to you politely and succinctly on here, but your confirmation bias, indeed your [b]indoctrination[/b] only allows you to see and believe what you already believe.

I would feel sorry for you if I didn't know you revel in your ignorance and [b]indoctrination[/b].

No, not really.

Also,

I don’t like any law based on “feelings “.
Florida’s stand your ground allows you to kill if you “feel” threatened .
Trans bathroom policies are based on feelings too.

screw those people better off without em if you had a child would you want that child molesting butt fusker rosenbaum around your little boy?

It sure seems that way.

No.. There are plenty of examples of people facing court trials for taking vigilante action..

Stand your ground laws and self defense laws together with "gun rights" do that.

No. Actually most "Self Defense Laws," in most States are hard to inact as a defense should a death occur. Most people usually end up in jail especially if a gun is involved.

only when capable of provoking an attack or taunting somebody in making stupid threats while hiding under the free speech excuse

The laws differ from state to state, but in some places it certainly seems that way. :(

Florida’s stand your ground law allows you to kill if you “feel” threatened .

Hopefully.

What would go wrong?

Lol.

They do not.

The Jewish people have what is called the Law of the Din Rodef, which allows a person to kill someone that they believe will kill another or violate a woman or child, this is where we get our self defense and the defense of others laws. The Law of the Din Rodef was employed by Yigel Amir when he assassinated Yitzak Rabin in November of 1995, Amir believed that Rabin's peace agreement was going to cost Israeli lives.
