There is a big difference betwen the two, similar to the difference between a responsible gun owner and a gun nut.

IF we are to have a safe, civilized, and happy society then we can tolerate no evil. Now, when I say 'exterminate', I do not mean that I become judge, jury, and executioner. I am simply saying that those who commit heinous acts of violence upon people do not deserve the life that they have been given. As a responsible gun owner, my position is that I will seek to STOP the threat to my life, my families lives, or any innocent bystanders life. Does that mean that to 'disable', I should go for the knees? No. To me, it means I rely on what works to stop a threat, which is usually two to the chest and if that doesnt stop it, then two to the head.
Do I 'want' to kill the threat? No, but I will not shy away from it if necessary. I prefer the 'extermination' to be done through the justice system as an example to that criminal element, but I also want that criminal element to know that it CAN happen at the hands of their victim if necessary.
