I don't understand why all of you seem to believe that the capacity to kill is somehow evil or barbaric. You seem to need to defend your willingness to kill by attaching restrictive and defensible conditions ("ONLY in self defense, or to protect my loved ones"). And even then, some of you seem ashamed to admit it, or are afraid that others might think less of you because you are willing and able to take the lives of others.
I claim there is nothing wrong with it, nor is there any need to attach such useless conditions. The capacity to kill is within each and every one of us - but we have inhibited the cold-blooded murderer with layers and layers of civilized behavior and 'proper upbringing.' I may never actually kill anyone in my entire life, but I know without a doubt that I could kill the next person I see on the street, for no reason at all and not have any problem with it - and I'm sure that a lot of you could too.
