Citizens of a country usually sort of own the country, if you read the local constitution.

They are more like homeowners, entitled to protect their land with deadly force.

Tenants are more like tourists: they are welcome as long as they keep paying.

Bull. Tenants are full-time residents who just don't have the money to buy.
