(1,954 posts)I agree with you, for the most part. Lethal force, to me, is a last resort. However, if pushed to that point, if the livelihood of my fiancee or my (future) children were at stake, if it meant that my kids got to eat that night, then a stranger's life is not in my consideration. That makes me cruel, possibly heartless, but that's the way of it.
We each have our own way of viewing the world. My way is quite a bit more cold and calculating, but I know that, and wouldn't force it on anyone. I'm knowing of the fact that others may have the restraint I otherwise would not have, and I admire them for it. I do not, however, envy them.
As always, it's a pleasure, and I look forward to more civil exchanges between our sides. This is the way to progress, not through banning, or unrestricted gun ownership. Peace to ya, mate.
