Ask DiJiTaLGoDz, almost everyone in Upper Michigan has a gun in there house.

Depends on your lawyer, or situation.
Overall yes, it can, and humans have been doing since forever.

I agree 100%.
Hoo boy, theres someone I'd like to see killed.

Every human being has the ability to "justify" things to themselves, or as a community. In this aspect anything can be justified just like when Hitler justified the killing of Jews, gypsys, and handicapped to the masses of Germany... It only takes the individuals justification, and any societal justification is just icing on the cake. An individual may not agree with anothers method of justification but who is really the judge and jury in that situation? The majority!

i think that as long as it is in self defense or a life or death situation and you would die if you didnt kill them then yes it is

That's entirely different, Hitler justified these acts to further his own cause (securing power and slaves), not to help someone else in pain (as in pulling the plug) or defend himself. Also, Godwins law. You lose already.

Pretty much everyone will give the same response. Killing is justified in the case of self-preservation and protection of others.

Self-preservation would include both self-defense and resources. If someone was attacking you and it was a kill or be killed situation, killing that person is justified. If someone is preventing you from getting the basics needed to survive, ie. a kidnapper who is refusing to feed you, killing is justified if there's no other way of escape.

Protection of others is pretty much the same thing, hense why police can justify killing someone to protect a hostage. Obviously killing is a last resort.

However, I feel there's a third time when killing is justified, to protect liberty. Killing someone who is stifling the freedom of others, someone who is removing peoples right to free speech, free expression, etc. imprisoning people for no reason, or for an unjust reason etc. these are reasons I would kill for. I would kill if there was a revolution against an unjust government. I would kill to ensure freedom of the press. I would kill to stop the exploitation of the lower classes... some people would consider my position to be extremist, but most don't otherwise we'd never have war, as most wars are for variations of the reasons I've listed.
