Going after your gun is as good as having a gun. At that point, you have to assume it's kill or be killed. You have a legal right to defend yourself and neutralize the threat, which is why Kyle was found not guilty. Quit with the buzzwords like "unarmed". If you're going for someone's gun, you're a second away from being armed and you know it. Quit it.
You're speaking as if he was in a war zone.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
