re: #172 watching you tiny alien kittens are

When someone with 250 pounds of muscle on their side wants to kill you they don’t really need a gun. Once he decided to kill her she was dead, regardless of what weapon he chose, or as that tweet points out he didn’t even need to use a weapon he could have simply battered or strangled her.

It isn’t a binary choice, to kill or not to kill. It requires a greater level of intent to kill someone with a blade or your bare hands than it does with a firearm.
