You said, quite clearly, that they were diseased, and that if they would not repent and "co-operate" with their rehabilitation: they should be killed or the disease would spread further. I fear this watchmaker perhaps has the same feelings.
I think that the terrible and depressing story of this killing watchmaker makes a strong an argument against gun ownership as can be made. The more and more gun violence there is in America the more and more the gun lobby claims that they need to have guns to protect themselves.... a very nice example of what Orwell called doublethink.
