Many states have castle doctrines where if anyone uninvited comes into your home you legally have the right to shot them on sight. Others have it set up so you have to fire a warning shot, but that could be your last shot after you stoped what ever is trying to get into your house.
These states with these laws tend to have less home invasion problems because of it is a common fact that if you go into someones house you most likely will be shot, so stay the hell out of where you don't belong.
Gun control laws only affect what the average law abiding citizen does with his/her guns. Criminals are going to do whatever the hell they want anyway. Sure they get tougher penalties when they do get caught but they have to get caught first.
