Agreed. Taking a life is very serious and should not be done lightly. Basically if it is not worth dying for, it should not be worth killing someone over it. As you indicated, if a person chooses to not protect themselves with a firearm, that is their absolute right to do so and I would defend their right. However, people also have the right to defend themselves and those rights also need to be defended.
