Most children - I know I did when I was a kid - fantasize another set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They don't tell their real parents about that - you don't want to tell Mom and Dad.
I rely on guns for protection in life. God does not say 'This is la-la land.' God doesn't say 'Welcome to Earth. Everything's perfect. There's no crime. There's no murder. There's no death.' The world is imperfect and you have to be on guard.
