Too long to read all now, but:

“when confronted with the threat of lethal violence, we should not resist, but simply give the attacker what he wants.”

This drives me absolutely bonkers. Honestly, I don’t care if you have a firearm or NOT; being a coward is not doing anyone any favors - except the crook.

Consider how low we’ve become as a society, that criminals routinely will kill you regardless of your resistance OR how much value you gave them. Doing everything he wanted didn’t buy you diddly, did it? All you got was your face torn off while sniveling.

Dying like a coward, rather than at least dying with honor. And indeed, fighting back may do more than that. It may save yourself, your property, bystanders, and the next target.
