It's funny how retail versus wholesale death is seen so differently.

Kill a few dozen people with your own hands and people are (rightfully) horrified.

Run a business that enables the killing of orders of magnitude more people, and you can be a respected pillar of society.

Killing instantly becomes respectable if it's done legally and for profit.

I suggest you look into the perception of self defense. Saving yourself and others via killing compared to killing to commit a crime are perceived very differently.
