Perhaps you should go back and (try to) read them in context.  Then read
rec.guns for a while.  You'll see lots of discussions about "when is lethal
force justified?" and alternatives.

I should hope not!  But then, unlike some wymmin, I'm not afraid of my
womanhood.

Well, let's see.  When you keep on about how guns should be unavailable in
society, it doesn't seem to be much of a reach to presume that you would
take them away from those of us who currently have them.  But, if that's
not your desire, what is?

Fine...What do you want to accomplish?  Besides wasting a lot of people's
time here?

Oh, and that's not controlling their behavior?  And how do you propose
to do that?  (I believe I've asked this before, but, if you've replied,
I missed it.)  And what if you fail?
