Tried to be a charitable reader, it’s certainly not the theoretical outcome of Kant’s theory. But it is hard to say what would happen when practically applied.

What you describe may be the outcome of what Kant proposes, but it isn’t what he intended. The categorical imperative is based in human rationality, which, in the way Kant defines it, takes away all subjectivity. We should only act on the basis of principles that we at the same time want to see as universal moral rules. Because rationality is universal among humankind we would all arrive at the same moral rules and act dutifully. According to him it would be irrational to want a world in which homicide could in any way be justified.
