4. That's exactly what justifiable homicide laws are.

Which is what "stand your ground" is. Although technically that term is usually applied to SELF-defense, whereas this would be considered part of the "forcible felony" clause of justifiable homicide laws.

For those who don't know, basically every state authorizes deadly force to prevent or interrupt "forcible felonies," the list of which typically includes rape, sexual assault, or both, as well as sometimes explicitly singling out sexual abuse of a child. So in other words if you walk in on someone molesting a four year old, it's considered legally justifiable to use any means necessary to stop the assault up to and including killing the perpetrator if necessary. Although that is subject to the typical requirements that force be proportional.
