Having a soft heart for the weak and defenseless is merely a nature reiterating what objective moral thinking already confirms:  that such people deserve the protection of the strong.  There is a moral duty to protect them against unjust attack, to the extent we are able.  Where did Jesus say otherwise?  There is likewise a duty to protect your own life against unjust attack.  

Jesus scolding Peter about attacking the soldier is roundly understood not as a general condemnation against violence in self-defense, but as a rejection of violence in that specific situation.  Jesus knew he had a mission to fulfill and wanted no obstruction.

You ask, "Why in the world do you 'take it' that I "advocate total disarmament of the country"?  Simple.  I credited you with logical consistency.   Because if you think "killing is always an evil," then you cannot have any moral reason to have an army --- the ultimate purpose of which is to kill, when necessary.
