The Noldor started the fighting in the first kinslaying by trying to steal ships.

We don't know who first drew swords.

The other two kinslayings were silmaril-related, I believe.

8 Noldor, driven by an oath that "none shall break and none should take" don't define an entire race.

They always seem to justify it somehow in my experience.

Melkor's sole purpose in using the orcs, as stated in Myths Transformed, is the elimination of elves and men. I certainly doubt you consider some other reasons, such as plunder, as a justification.

The Nauglamir was made after the noldor reached Middle Earth. If it carried any corruption for an elf (Thingol), it was after it held the silmaril.

The Elves of Nargothrond also shot anybody - Elf or Man - who approached their gates.

In what instances did they shoot? Celegorm and Curufin and their people found haven there, so did Orodreth.
