If someone feels the need to kill someone in self defense, they will create a situation where they need to defend themselves.

Jim, I would say that killing and defending one's life are not the same. If I were attacked by a cougar I would try to defend myself, not necessarily to kill the cougar, but if that's what it took to save my god given gift of life, then that's what I'd do. I would not waste my life with non-violent submission in that situation. Nor would I waste if it was a soulless human that were trying to take my life.

I would feel the need in both situations to defend myself. If doing that caused a death, am I a killer?
