So discouraging plastic bags is violence according to you, but killing someone isn't?
Strange dichotomy.
Again I reject the initiation of force, not self-defense, I am a bad Quaker in that regard. Deadly force should only be used in self-defense if you fear for your life. If one is shooting to wound, it usually indicates that they did not fear for their life. So yes, if someone breaks into your house and is threatening your life, I advise that you shoot to kill. This is self-defense, as opposed to someone coming into your house or place of business and telling you what to do at gun point, this is initiated force and violence. No doubt I will have to explain this to you again and again, as you continue to fail to grasp the distinction.
