"While your point is accurate and well stated, actually, they were after both the municipal stockpiles and the individual arms. My point was more in lines of arguing against the "but, but the Second Amendment is about muskets, or something"…"

"When seconds count the police are minutes away (and I don't trust the police anymore than any enforcer for any other protection racket).Weapons are tools for both offence and defence, without weapons you are a lamb in a flock of lambs."

"As far as I can recall, they were not trying to take muskets away from individuals. They were trying to shut down a larger municipal magazine/armories with cannon, powder and shot stockpiles since he, rightly, feared an armed revolt. The…"

"The musket was the "assault weapon" of its time. It was top military technology of the era. So much so that Old King George III, wanted them confiscated as the colonists were getting uppity. We know where that lead. Oh, and the founders…"

"So much great stuff has been said already, but I'd also like to add this thought. Even people who grow up in countries where its citizens cannot carry guns, so have never had that freedom, should realize how this debate affects them as well. If…"

Interests
My life goal is to become the possible man I can be. Standing by what I believe in, supporting my family, protecting things and people dear to me and sacrificing myself if needed.

Most people my age I meet cannot relate to me this way and so I don't have anyone to talk to on the matter of manliness.
I have my own code and my definition by differ but I believe there are many different kids of men. Be it poets, warriors, artisans or stay at home fathers, there are different kind of men.

This may sound strange but since my father was usually at the office when I was younger, I found comfort and teachings from different sources. One of these sources though unorthodox and childish was Japanese Manga (comics). The common theme of fighting and protecting what is dear to you such as beliefs, friends and family were drilled into me after many years.

I played American Football for five years during high school and have to say that it truly molded me into who I am. The comradeship, the passion and the struggle all were amazing and those fives seasons were the best of my life.
Books
Due the Japanese influence on me, I idolize the Samurai, as such my two favorite books are
1. Hagakure
2. The Book of the Five Rings

Please suggest me books!

Many mangas.
Movies
Tropic Thunder
Ghost Dog
First Transformers
Music
Sabaton and ManOwaR are my two favorite metal groups
I especially enjoy 80's rock
Johnny Cash.
