Arete,
If this person that you killed was only trying to take your wallet, would it
still be 'good' to kill him? How do you know what that person's intentions
are at all? As for your staunch opposition of gun control laws, what about
the fact that people can buy guns at wal-marts where no background checks are
done? I knew a guy whose best friend bought a gun in a similar situation and
then shot himself. I know that there are many responsible gun users, but
there are also many psycho bastards out there who, thanks to lax gun control
laws, can obtain firearms quickly and easily.
