it’s never been morally or legally justifiable to try to kill someone for stealing.
What if I catch you trying to steal one of my other guns?

Do you not see the nuance I’m trying to discuss?
Is your gun sitting all alone in a field with no one around? If so, you left an object worth, perhaps, a few hundred dollars and someone took it. Once he’s caught, and in jail, do we justify his death because he stole something?
Or are you suggesting this thief is in your house and putting his hands on a gun you know to be loaded? In that case, there is a very reasonable perception of a threat that this thief is in your house without permission and touching a weapon that you know is a deadly threat to you.
Can we not agree that there is a difference between the mere taking of something of value and an actual, articulable threat of death or great bodily harm and that deadly force is reasonable to prevent one but not the other?
