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.
