No, just someone who understands all gun use situations are not life and death.

Then you don't understand guns. They are a deadly tool and should only be used if you plan on killing what you're pointing them at. Like I said, literally anyone that teaches gun use or safety tells you that.

What are you doing here really? You're just lusting over blood and picking fights with strangers over internet and trying to get people to shoot each other dead.

I think he's saying that if you don't mean to kill someone, don't point a fucking gun at them.

It's a pretty good rule to have. Shooting to wound or pulling a gun to otherwise deescalate a situation is a bad idea because a situation becomes infinitely more likely to become lethal if someone pulls a gun. And if you're not willing to pull the trigger then someone could take the gun from you and use it against you, or otherwise kill you, and they'd be within their right to do so because you just pointed a lethal weapon at them.

Original commenter is saying don't pull a gun at all if you don't think you absolutely have to in order to keep yourself alive.

I understand that people living in violent areas have very different views from mine. I still disagree with that all gun use should start with an intent to kill but to disarm, though in case of facing an armed robber for example it sure can be necessary. Can be. And as we're getting back to original comments, the guns with more stopping power criminals have are guns their legal owners once though need more stopping power.

You can disagree all you want. You're still wrong.

Yeah, its the difference between one shot ending a threat and a whole magazine. Both large and high velocity calibers have a place in self defense. I use an AR with lead tipped rounds with a suppressor because A, I don't wanna shoot my neighbor. B, I just need to stop the threat and not hurt anyone else, and C, I don't want my ears to bleed after one shot.
