I wonder how many of these thugs have actually shot any one or anything? If you haven’t killed it is easy to say you will...harder to do in real life
Yup. While I have never killed, I have used extreme violence to defend myself before. Crippling violence in fact. (One punk’s right arm will never fully function again - inverted elbows never fully heal.) And would have killed if the crippling violence did not stop the attack.
To your point: most people freeze when faced with violence. Bet most of these snowflakes would.
