Typical reactionist answer.
A man has got to know his limitations.
My dad had a gun. He was a Bombardier with a 3 mobile Bofers anti aircraft unit. When there were no Luftwaffe left to shoot down he was asked to shoot snipers out of bell towers with high explosive rounds. When the war was over he put away the gung-ho boyish childish things and led a decent life. He was a hero serving in three theatres of war. He taught his 3 kids family values.
l bet my dad could beat your dad.
l have 1 wife, 2 houses, 3 cars* and 4 hard earned pensions and a life and attitude which l would never want to compare with yours: but l did have an air riffle pop gun and a 100cc Yamaha in my youth.
*Obviously l can only drive one at a time
