10. It may have been "legally justified", but morally justified to kill a 16 yo WIthOUT REGRET?

THAT is what bothers me.

Of course there are occasions where that might be necessary, but just as I hate that our society thinks the police should use a taser against old people, very young unruly or mentally challenged children and peaceful demonstrators, rather than any other more benign (and time consuming) intervention, I absolutely DETEST that so many don't think twice about killing a 16 yo-even one foolish enough to brandish a weapon.

Spare me the platitudes "gun" folks. I know the police does not teach non-lethal wounding shots in most jurisdictions anymore, but there are instances where that makes sense to do. And, spare me the blanket statements about "how foolish one would be to take less than a lethal shot" .... I won't regret anything if I am wrong and dead. But, if I am alive and have to live my entire life wondering "what if" with respect to taking a CHILD's life, well, I'd rather be dead. I know this will incite some of our more "determined" gunners to look upon me with utter disdain, but so be it. I still value life.

On edit, for any additional Gun-Obsessives, I'm done with the ugliness so frequently permeating the responses in this forum to anyone who is not 100% ok with killing, whether 'self-defense' or not. I will not respond to those kinds of comments, so you can save yourself the effort.
