Our minds should not be empty because if they are not preoccupied by good, evil will break in upon them.
Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons.
The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.

An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.
Fight back! Whenever you are offered violence, fight back! The aggressor does not fear the law, so he must be taught to fear you. Whatever the risk, and at whatever the cost, fight back!

Then life is not only dynamic, but it is also electrified with life force.
