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.

It seems you don't understand why the Second Amendment was created in the first place.

The End of History; Globalism. Liberalism is the Final Man. Not Commies like Hegel?Engel? a German guy thought.

Ah yeah sadly I'd say majority of my knowledge or philosophy itself comes from more modern day philosophers but surely regurgitated knowledge from many different philosophers over history. I've dabbled through early some of the 1700's-1800's when I find something that has carried over through philosophy. Need to dive some more into idealism and that era.

Liberalism leads to Socialism which leads to Communism. The globalist idea is the catalyst.

BTW, do you know what party Hitler belonged to?

See, the thing is, they have nothing. NOTHING. There is NO Quid Pro Quo. There is NO bribery. There is NOTHING. They keep moving the goal posts to keep fanatics like yourself wringing your hands and drooling in your lap.

It's pathetic. And sad. You allow yourself to be propagandized over and over and over again and you have no clue that it's being done.

I know you think you're winning now but when you lose the House and the White House you'll feel defeated. Another four years of REEEEEEE. Good times.
Who is "propagandizing" me?

But if anything, Epistemological Idealism or Transcendental Idealism seems more like a reality. Not sure how Kant or Descartes described how to conduct life outside of those philosophies of idealism vs materialism(world independent of ideas) but the philosophies behind both of those could have some merit.
