In the same breath, libs will thank the Secret Service for immediately killing the shooter and also say "violence is never an acceptable response."

That's probably the most succinct way to state the contradiction. You're OK with taking out an active shooter, but not with taking out someone who (as libs love to tell you) is about to hurt or kill people all over the world?
