    The law distinguishes between the life of an attacker and the life of a victim. Any reasonable moral or ethical code will do the same.

    The reality is that the attacker forfeits their right to life for the duration of their attack: the life saved holds greater legal, moral, and ethical value than the life wasted on the attacker.

    Guns are meant to extinguish threats, not lives. They do, indeed, save lives.

      How do they extinguish threats?

      Seriously this is the same bullshit “the civil war was about states’ rights” argue.
