As for my understanding, in the US, you can even "protect" your property with guns.
It's called trespassing and you can actually shoot them without calling it a murder in the US.

......GOD!......I LOVE this Country!......

Actually it's called 'Castle Doctrine' and is only applicable inside your residence or personal transportation, IF there is a reasonable fear of violence against you or your loved ones(varies from State to State, as do all local laws).

Here at Interior, we work every day to protect our nation’s special places so current and future generations can experience our natural and cultural treasures for years to come. With more than 400 national parks, 560 national wildlife refuges and nearly 250 million acres of other public lands managed by Interior, there’s at least one public land near you.
Seems like lots of space to 'roam' is available for every one with the urge. And that's not counting State Parks and Lands and Local Wildlife Refuges.

You in the US doesn't seem have the same FREEDOM as you call it that we have.
But we can use guns to kill animals like elks or moose that Americans like to call them. Here we call them Älgar and it's hunting season right now together with wild boars and deers. Humans are not a prey though.

Another reason for the 2nd Amendment is to give our citizens a means to prevent them from becoming 'prey'.

And wild Boar, Javelina, and feral hogs are pretty much in season year round here due to the damage they do to the environment.

(CNN)The candlelight vigil for two people killed at an off-campus homecoming party near Greenville, Texas, was interrupted by gunfire Sunday, police said.
Officers responded to the shooting around 8 p.m. CDT and found a disturbance during the vigil led to shots being fired, according to Dallas police spokeswoman Tamika Dameron.
No injuries were reported in the shooting, but several vehicles were damaged, Dameron said.
The vigil comes just one day after two people were killed and 14 others were injured during a party Saturday.

GREENVILLE, Texas (AP) — A gunman opened fire at an off-campus Texas A&M University-Commerce party, leaving two people dead and 14 injured before he escaped in the ensuing chaos, a sheriff said Sunday.

Sheriff’s deputies were questioning a partygoer in front of the building after having been called there for complaints of parking on the roadway blocking traffic when they heard gunshots from the back of the building, Meeks said.

Nov. 1 (UPI) -- A 7-year-old girl was in critical condition after she was shot while trick-or-treating in Chicago's West Side on Halloween, authorities said.

The girl was walking with her family when at about 5:30 p.m. Thursday a group of men chasing a 31-year-old man opened fire, striking the girl in the neck and chest, Chicago Police Department Spokesman Rocco Alioto said in a press briefing.

The man being chased was also shot, he said.

The girl was transferred to Stroger Hospital in critical condition and was "fighting for her life," said Alioto.

"This is unacceptable," Alioto said. "It's a 7-year-old girl that's trick-or-treating with her family out here and happens to get shot because a group of guys want to shoot at another male while there's a street full of kids trick-or-treating."

Earlier reports about a Friday night shooting have been clarified by Pasadena police to report that three victims — not four, as earlier stated — were injured.

Pasadena police Lt. Kim Smith said Saturday that two women were found with gunshot wounds, accompanied by a man who had been cut by flying glass.

Smith said all three were transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The police response began about 9:15 p.m. Friday when officers were summoned on a “shots fired” call to the 1800 block of Navarro Street.

Arriving police found a bullet-riddled automobile and immediately were notified the victims were located several streets away in the 1700 block of Newport Avenue.

Officers found the victims, who were transported by Pasadena Fire dept. paramedics for treatment.

JE, you are either a more successful prognosticator than those you mentioned in the Donald Trump thread, or read this story before posting. I note that this one was a few hours earlier, and they both use the phrase "level the playing field".

A pregnant woman is credited with saving the lives of her husband and daughter after she used an AR-15 to fatally gun down a home intruder, a report said.

There's one view...

Concealed handgun permits continue to increase in Colorado, across the nation
ALEXANDRIA, VA–A new report from the Crime Prevention Research Center analyzes the spread of legal concealed carrying of firearms nationwide. There has been a 304% increase in concealed carry permitting since 2007. In 2018 alone more than 1.8 million new permits were issued nationwide.
