If someone were to smash in the door to my house my first reaction would be to grab my gun to defend myself because I live in a Castle Doctrine state. Is an armed individual a shoot on sight for SWAT? Is there an attempt at de-escalation in case that person is an innocent? Would this defensive reaction get me killed if I were swatted?

That comparison is extremely disingenuous. You absolutely should have experience using and understanding how firearms work before you try and pass laws of extremely questionable constitutionality that aren't based in fact. The "common sense" gun laws that exist much throughout the US are based on inaccurate of just plain false assumptions about guns. For example:

-Assault Weapons bans that target cosmetic features of semi-automatic rifles that are used in a very low percentage of crimes

-Suppressor laws written by people who seem to think a suppressor completely silences a gun's report rather than just bringing it to a more hearing safe, but still extremely loud level

-4473 questions and background checks that often falsely flag people as criminals, force them to incriminate themselves or discriminate against people who don't have permanent addresses

The road to hell is often paved with good intentions and gun laws often have unintentional negative consequences for disenfranchised groups. If you have any further questions about guns or how the laws around them work/don't work, I used to be an FFL and would be happy to answer them.

I'm sorry to tell you this but the "science" isn't actually on the side of the gun control crowd.
