You are in no way and by no stretch of the definition a "man" if you lack the means to defend yourself and your family and / or would expect anyone else to protect the very lives of his loved ones.
Please note that firearms are certainly not the only way to protect oneself, and a firearm is only a tool, after all.
Training, blunt weapons, blades, etc.
Fuck; I once saw a man kill two other men with a pencil.
Very true, I can build a house with a rock, but the hammer is much more elegant and far easier. The right tools make a chore a joy, the wrong tools can get the job done, but cost far more time. When you've got multiple jobs doing a tactical entry into your house, a pencil isn't going to allow you to stand back and enjoy your handiwork when the jobs have been taken care of.

A fucking pencil
The brain and your body is the real weapon.
Everything else is just a tool....
