In most states, you are only permitted to use deadly force to stop deadly force. If the perp is stopped, further unwarranted force on your part could lead to your arrest for murder. Anti-gunners use your type of bravado to support their cause for disarming Americans.

Chasing down the perps was an obvious mistake and the homeowner will probably face charges.
Now, if the homeowner was a cop, he could go through the neighborhood enter homes (probable cause-chasing robber) confiscate people’s guns and money and shoot any suspects that he felt posed a threat.
