"But what if you're in a scenario where everything perfectly aligned so that some guy's rifle was the only weapon available to defeat the alien boss who is about to destroy the Earth, and you don't have time to ask the owner of the rifle for permission, who is not around at this moment, wouldn't you steal his rifle temporarily? And further if there were no ammo anywhere besides his, you would have to expend his ammo into this slug shaped alien being no one on Earth had prepared for, and there are no other heroes around but you and this absent man's rifle to stop it. Don't you think that Natural Law is wrong in this case?!"
