I can't really add anything constructive to this discussion, because all of my points have already been made by others.
Though, what DOES surprise me, are the number of folks globally broadcasting intent.
That's the difference between shoot to kill and shoot to stop. Intent. Functionally, there may be zero difference between your actions. You may pull the trigger the same number of times at the same point of aim. But "shoot to kill" describes a mental state which includes intent to take life. And here folks are broadcasting to the whole world (including ALL of the overzealous gun-hating self-defense-hating prosecuting attorneys on the planet) that you intend to kill a person.
I can find no wisdom in doing such a thing.
