I hardly think shooting a cat for being a bully is necessary. It also depends on whether this bully cat is yours or someone else's. If it is someone else's then remove the cat from the kitten. If the bully cat is yours then it is possible that he/she is jealous of the new kitten therefore it is important to give the older cat attention as well so he/she dont feel neglected. It is also possible that the bully cat needs some time to get use to the kitten therefore it might be necessary to slowly introduce the two while under supervision for a limited time each day and slowly increasing the time they are together. It sounds like the kitten should be kept in a carrier while the older cat gets use to the kitten being around during their supervised play times. It is also possible that the bully cat may never get use to the kitten at least until the kitten loses its extreme energetic playfulness which could take months.

Please keep your pet away from the "bully" cat. Not knowing about the exact situation, I would guess that the bully cat is protecting its territory, and your kitten is considered an intruder.
Another option would be to call animal control in your town and have the cat trapped and taken to the animal shelter. There are other problems associated with that (the cat may be put to sleep).
Do you know the owner? Are you on speaking terms? Maybe you can work out something between the two of you.
Also- are you allowing your kitten to roam free outside? There are many dangers for it besides a bully cat. If you can keep you kitten inside, it will not only avoid the bully cat, but also be healthier.

I had the same thing happen when we moved from my old house from my new house which is 4 houses down from the old one. My outside cats wouldn't stay home due to the neighbors cat across the street coming to my yard and attracting them. I beat him(not to death) but hard with a broom after attracting the baby cat but he stills comes over, now my cat's won't stay home they go down to the old house, I want to shoot him or carry him off but I'm a animal lover and I don't think it would be right, But I do feel for ya

Keep your kitten in the house until it's big enough to fend for itself.

in my state it is a felony to kill an animal..unless it is being "put to sleep" by a vet. You need to call the humane society or your city office/hall and they will tell you what the procedure is to have the cat removed.
