While I don't agree with restrictions on our 2A rights here in America, I understand that most other countries don't have this right embedded in their founding documents.
Where I get really ticked off, however, is when restrictions are placed on how one is able to defend themselves, regarding firearms or anything else really.
In my location, defense of home is extremely simple. I am allowed to use any and all methods I deem appropriate to stop a threat within my property, including and up to any means of deadly force. Full stop, no other caveats.
So, if someone breaks into my house, I can simply assume they mean to do me harm and shoot them. I don't have to prove I was in danger of any kind nor do I have to prove that I met force with comparable force. They break in, all bets are off and I am in the clear.
As it should be.

Breaking into someone’s home should be an ultra hazardous activity. I’m in the process of selecting my retirement state and planning my retirement home, and one non-negotiable criterion is that the state have a Castle law. Also, it needs to be a Class 3 state. Tennessee is high on the list, but I worry that Nashville is going to turn it purple.
