See that is where i differ in how i was raised, what i was taught and how i train. I have never been told nor believed that a gun is for the killing and taking of innocent life. It is my belief that the true purpose of the gun is to defend life, liberty, freedom and if needed to harvest meat for survival. If a person attempts to encroach on these values, gets shot and then dies then that was a destiny of their choosing.
I have never held my gun and thought to myself, yeah man! This is a killing machine, im go kill some folks today!!. No i have held it many times respecting the ability that it gives me to defend the principles that i believe in and were taught at a young age and will one day pass onto my children the same beliefs.
