perhaps you are missing my point.

1. I consider myself sane

2. I would not kill for any reason but self defense.

3. I think anyone who kills for any reason other that self defense is insane.

4. I don't care.

Point 1 is irrelevant. Lots of insane people think they're fine.

 

Point 2 is unprovable. You can't say you'd never get angry enough to kill until you're on your deathbed.

 

Point 3 is a gross simplification. You've just tarred any soldier who kills during an offensive as a lunatic.

 

Point 4 is why it's a good thing you don't serve in a legislative capacity.

Doesn't every state have it's own version of what qualifies as legally insane? I vaguely remember skimming over this in a criminology class. Just because you are insane doesn't necessarily make you a candidate for the insanity plea, and vice versa. I think you can be found "guilty though insane" in Minnesota. It's a weird part of the law that varies depending on the state in which you're tried.

point 1 is relevant, this whole thing is my opinion, and as such is relevant.
point 2. If I do kill for reasons other than self defence, kill me please. I clearly lack the mental capacity(or sanity) to sufficiently control my emotions.
point 3 is supposed to be simplistic, and you clearly have no idea what I do for a living.
point 4. you are probably right.
