This pretty much sums up what everyone was saying to you, you uncouth asshole.
Last I heard you couldn't save humanity by shooting people because it just causes more hatred and/in violence. I can't think of anytime that, after we shoot someone, everybody laid down their weapons and said, "Welp, that solved this problem, no more need for violence!"

Hence the pacifist route of stopping violence in it's tracks by not commiting any violence, based on the belief that violence causes/perpetuates violence. It's kind of like going, "Cold turkey" if you get my drift.
Yeah, but if countries weren't willing to defend themselves against countries that wanted to take them over, and if people like the jews were willing to let people like the nazis just kill them, then we'd just have one group of morally corrupt bullying the rest of the world that won't stick up for itself.

An eye for an eye may make the world blind, but letting someone run around ripping peoples eyes out without consequence is just not the responsible thing to do.
