I agree with you on a general level, but I do feel that there are cases of justified killing (even "murder" so to speak, cases which fall outside the scope of self-defense). Clearly we don't want people doing it for the wrong reasons, but who is to say what those reasons are?

Can you give me an example?

Retributon for various sins (rape or other sexual assault, massive theft, etc)

This would just fall under punishment which is completely consistant. I'd agree that the amount of punishment is a grey area but I dont think its relative. If you agress against me, then I can agress against you.
