If you’re a man. I don’t mean a guy. I don’t mean a male. I mean, if you’re a man, your top priority, obligation, and, yes, privilege, are the safety and well-being of your family. That’s it. That’s the only responsibility that matters. And anyone who puts anything — including what’s best for society — ahead of that responsibility, who neglects his family or who sacrifices his family’s safety and well-being on the altar of some greater good, is not a man.
If you were to ask me why I own nine firearms, my answer would likely depend on whether or not I liked the look of your face. If I don’t like the look of your face, I’ll tell you, It’s none of your goddamned business why I own nine firearms. What I put in my house is no concern of yours. You don’t see me asking you why you own nine blow-up dolls.
If I was okay with the look of your face, I would tell you the truth…
No matter how secure your house is, if someone wants to break into your house, on average, that will take about five seconds. This means that from the time you hear a thump, a crack, or glass break, you now have about 3.5 seconds to grab a gun.
There’s no place in my house, including the shower, where I can’t get my hands on a loaded gun in three seconds.
Plus, because of my work and opinions, I get threats. All the time, I’m threatened. Are they serious threats? Don’t know. Don’t care. What I do know is that a man with a family takes every threat seriously.
But if you’re a man, you own at least one gun and know how to use it.
<snip>
The argument from the gun-grabbers is that guns are bad for society, and to back up that argument, they whip out all kinds of science and statistics and studies, to which I will always respond with a hearty and healthy… So what?
Even if it’s true that guns are bad for society (and I do not believe it is), what the hell do I care?
Society is not my problem.

For the next time @Jazzhead says we're being "selfish" to "society for wanting to bear our arms for protection:
A selfish and narcissistic man is the man who prioritizes something/anything over his family, be it selfish career advancement or the narcissism of some do-gooder out saving the world or feeling smug and self-righteous about not owning a gun (i.e., leaving your family vulnerable).

I have to admit Jazzy did come to mind when I read that particular part of the article.
