Because our life is the basis for all that we are as humans. It is being alive that is the essence of our existence and to take that completely and totally destroys a person in this world. Life is a gift from God, and to take it destroys that gift.

And according to you, entering into someone house is a valuable reason for the owner to kill you? What a rough country the US must be :-/
Breaking into a house - a significant difference. And I'm not about to bet my safety or the safety of those I care about on the benevolence of a person who has already committed a crime against me.

Say if theres a family who hates your family. Who could be coming to kill you any moment. Why are we not allowed to kill them in order to live in peace?
Very vague, but here's a bit of an answer - call the police or whoever if you have evidence they are going to kill you. Otherwise, simply be prepared should they arrive at your house.

I think it is wrong to want to kill simply so one is not inconvenienced. It is preemptive action in this case - essentially judging them guilty before they even commit a crime.
