Nobody here is talking about aggressing, they are talking about self defense, after the aggression has already happened(with or without a tool) In the beginning was harmony and there will be harmony in the end.

What I get from this very depressing discussion: Humans have completely lost sight of the fact that we are ALL living in paradise. We've trashed, torn, scuffed, and destroyed much of what is beautiful, not only of our physical space, but our emotional space as well. As the Hopi said many years ago, we are so far out of balance that we will most likely never regain our footing. We've taken our paradise and turned it into hell, seemingly willingly, where we have to even discuss the viability and means to kill each other. Hooray for us
