Someone asked me this question and thought. Hmm, what would it take for me to actually kill someone. I think if the person killed my spouse or child I probably could, not sure.
shareProbably, in self defense. If I had a gun and someone were shooting at me, I'd shoot back.
shareI have the ability but not the desire.
Even if someone was trying to kill me I would defend myself and try to neutralise my attacker rather than kill them. Taking a life is just something I never want to do or even think about.
It always makes me cringe when people wish death on others, even as a joke. It’s so extreme. A good smack around the head is the worst I ever wish someone.
So what if all you had to do was push a button to kill someone? No face to face.
shareStar Trek phasers for everyone ! No fuss, no muss and no cleaning up afterwards !
What's my incentive?
shareSounds like the movie "The Box" (2009)

But the victim in The Box was unknown to the "executioner." I was speaking more about vigilante type killings - like Dexter, or ridding the world of terrible people.
shareI probably could if the person was a real threat to my child or grandchild's life. My life? Probably not since I don't have a whole lot left to live for. My purpose in life is probably done. Kill for hire? Definitely no.
shareOnly if my life was in danger from them.
shareYES.
