It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.
I wouldn't be thinking that either. But, if I had a gun with rubber bullets, for example, you'd be I'd try to take the bastard alive so we can put him to justice by American standards.
Besides, for the most part, there is nothing a gunman loves more than being killed during the shooting, whether it be by his own hand or at another's hand, there is a long running theme of shooters killing themselves after inflicting considerable damage.
Why? Probably because they won't have to live with what they've done, or, more likely, so they don't have to live with the punishment.
My motives for wanting them to live is so they can suffer as much as possible. The dead don't suffer.
And as someone (not sure who) tried to say above, if a civilian is having a hard time placing shots properly, they have no business using a gun. And before you try to say "it's an unstable situation, they had to act fast", if you are going to start shooting wildly or in any way not have complete control over where your bullets are going, rubber or otherwise, you definitely don't have any business owning a gun.

The point is, protecting all life is of paramount importance. I can honestly say that if someone was attacking me, you bet your ass I want to kill them. But that defeats the point of our justice system, and circumvents the authority of the people. Hah, while I respect your opinion I do have to state the first thought to pop into my head when I read this: "If someone started spraying my row of seats with an automatic weapon, my first thought would not be 'I hope he gets taken alive to await a court date to be upheld to the fullest extent of the law!' I'd probably be 'Make the shooting stop, someone please. I don't care how, just make it stop!'" Just saying.
