I've heard British people with funny hats can just take your home in the US, but if you own guns (most do) you can just shoot at them until they go away.
Do they have to be wearing funny hats? Asking for a friend
Of course not. You can shoot pretty much anybody in the US.
That's not true. Only cops get that right.
Setting aside all the legal reason people have outlined its important to rmeber this is America.
If a rich enough person wants you dead they'll shoot you in the head on the front porch of your home in broad daylight in front of your neighbors and then the cops will say no crime happened and the news will say that person always lived there.
Rich people can and do act however they want without consequences and our entire judicial system is just set up as a smokescreen to point to to tell poor people that isn't the case.
