Now that goes to your intent. You do need to stop them for sure. I get that. But killing is a step past that, apart from the fact our most common weapon kills. That was not always the case. Plus, no need to shoot the guy again if hes down.

From a purely practical and pragmatic stand point, the act of rendering a man incapable of being a threat is much harder than killing him. Through out much of human history, non lethal methods of self defense have been practically non-existant.
