You can capitalise the word all you want, but my morals aren't false and quite frankly for you to suggest so is both disrespectful and rude. If somebody had me at gunpoint, as I said above, I would try and defend myself by non-lethal means, whether that be running, tackling them, or talking my way out. I may not survive the situation, but just because somebody else is willing to do something bad doesn't mean I have the right to do that thing also.
My morals are based upon what I have learned throughout my life so far, and what I have been taught by my peers. I know that killing is wrong even if it means I risk death myself, just as theft is wrong even if it betters my own position in life. There is no point believing something if you lack conviction in that belief. My morals may seem extreme, but what is the point in following any moral code if you don't truly believe it?

Ok then. I guess you really would die. What if they were killing others? Would your morals let them die?

That's a very good and difficult question, but again it would be the same situation and I would have to try non-lethal means. It would be FAR more difficult, but my methods are more likely to be successful if the assailant is otherwise engaged. As I said before, my morals are absolute. Thankfully I live in the UK where gun laws are strict and seeing an armed Police Officer, let alone an armed criminal, is a rare occurrence.
