Minor detail about theft and the law: in most states you can't shoot a thief. Favoring thieves over their victims is not universal law in the United States. I have a great example for your "For rifles like ar15s you’re firing bullets that will go through whoever you hit" comment. A young man used his father's AR-15 to kill 3 intruders (2 of them armed) with just 2 bullets. One of the shots did in fact go through the person hit, which turned out to be beneficial. Here you go: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/oklahoma-man-uses-ar-15-kill-three-teen-home-intruders-n739541 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/oklahoma-man-uses-ar-15... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/03/28/three-burglars-entered-an-oklahoma-home-the-owners-son-opened-fire-with-an-ar-15-deputies-say/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/03/2... And yes, "all the people in one direction are valid targets" did apply, as it normally would.
