    I don't think any amount of money justifies a single human death. I think the deaths from car accidents and medical mistakes are justified because of the practicality of cars and medicine, the same as choking deaths are justified by the practicality of eating or tripping deaths are justified by the practicality of walking. We should do what we can to mitigate these deaths but at a certain point it's a risk inherent to living.

    You are the one who said that deaths are justified based on economics, so I want to know how you justify them. You stated your position, so it's only right you explain it.
    I think gun ownership is practical and the deaths from them are justified because of that. However, you still cannot get away from the economic impact of shutting down ANY industry. Does money alone justify it? NO...but if you couple it with the other benefits, then yes, it's justified. Twisting my words to say something I didn't say is dishonest. I said it's as justified as the medical industry and auto industry...not that the money justifies it. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

      When a man stole a cash register drawer from a Walmart, he was looking for a way to make a quick getaway. He attempted to carjack two separate vehicles, both occupied by customers, by threatening them with a knife but was thwarted when the would-be victims both produced firearms and prepared to defend themselves.

      In the article, the first man had to defend himself from the knife attack...I believe the outcome might have been very different if he hadn't been able to retrieve his gun.
