"That Violence Is Not Practical."

[Sluggy Bear]

there's context within Atlas Shrugged itself. Dagny shot a guard dead in order to sneak into the institute and save Galt from further torture. Her explanation/justification of how easy/fast she shot that guard was that the guard could not decide for himself whether to let her pass or not.

so there, an example from the same source (not the bible, LOL!)

And does this show that in a proper context violence is in fact practical? I think it does.
