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

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.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I have a question for you. Hypothetically, you have a gun, and a person is attacking you with a crowbar. What would you do?

@fanuc2013 This is a nonsense hypothetical that is designed to push a very specific narrative. If I traveled across a country specifically looking for a showdown that is something else entirely that doesn't fit the self defense narrative.
