Yes, I have. Just not what you wanted to hear, so you have remained deaf.

So now it's about me shooting *you*? Are you a burglar? No wonder you want to know what I'll do.
I told you the law would guide my behavior, so "laws can't keep you from shooting me" is just plain wrong.

Yes, you can.
The law (you would know this if you would actually READ it) is about justfication and the use of deadly force. Doesn't say a word about guns specifically...could be a knife, a bludgeon, your hands around someone's throat.
You *do* have to care about the law, because it's not about weapons, it's about behavior and responsibility.
