Why do you need weaponry? Do you live in a war zone?

Because as a great quote from Thomas Jefferson "“A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks."
I shoot a lot. My belief is that a gun is a tool. It is a dangerous tool but also a useful tool. If you train with a dangerous tool on a regular basis, it sharpens your mind. You need to always be aware of trigger control, your surroundings and timing with breathing. The more you utilize those functions for sports and exercise, the sharper you become. I also believe that the world is in a great place. Go back 80 years ago, it wasn't. Go back 20 something years before that, it wasn't. Even in-between there have been some bad times across the globe with diseases and wars.
The world is becoming way better. 50% of the world was pulled out of poverty in 15 years with a goal of 30 years. It is a better time to be alive today than ever before. People are self oppressed for the most part. I hope not but, if I ever need guns to defend myself, friends and family. I have them and have utilized those tools for years.
