I'm convinced the town I work in is full of crazy people.

I consider myself a fairly sane person, and the idea of owning a device that has the sole function of killing another person of my choosing with the press of a button is repulsive to me. I have no problem with people wanting to own guns for hunting or target shooting, but wanting to own a gun that is specifically designed to kill a person or a group of people in the most effective manner is absolutely horrifying.

I'll go further. Killing anything is in its own way a horror. I honor and respect the majesty of the tiger, until it has my struggling child in its jaw. Then, I would kill it and decorate my floor with its hide. I prevent this horror when I choose not to live in tiger country.

The natural law right here though is that when in defense of your life, or families lives, would you (should you) be willing to kill? Therefore, in 2nd amendment parlance, you should not be denied the means of defending yourself from common threats. You and I may never see them, but should we deny others their rights due to our peaceful and idyllic semi-rural lives. So, just as with the tiger, I choose not to live in violence infested parts of town. I'd rather not be put into a position of having to kill people, but not everyone can afford to change their situation.
