You seem to me to be suggesting that if I am able to prevent a murder by murdering the would-be murderer, but I
don't do so, then I am responsible for the murderer's murder? In which case, I'd like to hear your logic on how I am now responsible for a murder that I did not commit, plan, or want.
As for the last part - killing in defense of your family - this seems to me to be another version of the sniper and the bomber and the million people, no? Anyway it's quite simple. If I kill the would-be murderer then I have murdered a person. If I don't then I have murdered no-one.
I wonder, would you describe yourself as a Christian? If so, then this notion should not seem so absurd to you as you pretend.

You presume to know how
I will and will not think and act in a hypothetical scenario. I cannot guess whether that is just plain arrogance or intentional flame baiting.
