And yes, the same is true for war and soldiers, although for most soldiers who were teenagers those who trained them may be just as culpable. Pooh pooh this now, that’s ok. You will eventually see the truth of it.
In your view of the world, the weaker people (children, women, older, disabled, smaller) would be at the complete mercy of the strongest/brawniest.

Guns are an equalizer, like it or not. They are also a good deterrent. You may not own a gun yourself, but the fact that you have the right to own one makes a criminal think twice about coming onto your property to do you or your loved ones harm. Thank God for that.
