Where in Mormon scripture does it say man will live to be 120 years old?

Genesis 6:3 says that the days of man will be "an hundred and twenty years". This is a scripture used by all Christians, including Mormons. Moses 8:17, a Mormon scripture found in the Pearl of Great Price, clarifies what many Christian scholars believe: that this actually refers to the fact that the flood of Noah would come in 120 years, not that men will live to be 120.
Compare:
Genesis 6:3-
And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Moses 8:17-
And the Lord said unto Noah: My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for he shall know that all flesh shall die; yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years; and if men do not repent, I will send in the floods upon them.
Psalm 90:10 says that men will live to be "threescore years and ten", meaning 70 years.

Is it legal to murder morman polygyamists?
1.) It is not legal to murder anyone. 2.) Mormons are not polygamists, the Mormon church banned polygamy over 120 years ago. Those who call themselves 'Mormon Fundamentalists' are NOT affiliated with the Mormon church and believe that the Mormon church has gone astray from the will of God. 3.) Logically, you can't murder something that doesn't exist.
