My basic position on this is that no one, and particularly not the
government, should have the power to kill an individual under the auspices
of the law. The primary reason being that I have a serious problem with
surrendering control of my life to any other self-interested party.

However, I have no problem with using lethal force in self-defense, for the
same reason mentioned above.
