Regarding the difference between a "law" and an "ordinance." for all intents and purposes there is none - a "law" is state level or higher, and an "ordinance" is county level or lower. Both do the same thing, require or prohibit an action with appropriate penalties for failing to comply.

Regarding submitting it to your township supervisors, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that it be submitted as a "resolution" (a statement of official recommendation or opinion) rather than an "ordinance." Again, an ordinance requires a penalty for failing to obey such, and there is nothing to obey with a recommendation.

As for someone breaking into my house and threatening my life or the lives of my family, just by breaking into an occupied home the actor has accomplished that whether or not he actually threatens anyone. It is up to the state to prove that the home's residents were not in fear of their lives. Break into an occupied home and you risk getting shot. Period. End of discussion.
