Americans are not obsessed, other nations are not citizens, they are subjects. You have tended to agree with wrong thinking. That wrong thinking has also led you to believe exercising your responsibility to protect yourself and others means looking forward to shooting someone.
As a Christian we must look at the world through the lens of G-d, not ourselves and our own narrow world. Jesus constantly looked out for the good of others, never for His own selfish interests. He is the model for how we are to live.
If you get your faith right, the way you must to hear the words "well done. good and faithful servant" you will understand.
It isn't for ourselves that we participate in the shooting sports, it is for others. As people who introduce others in the safe handling and use of firearms, especially our Hunters Safety Programs, we know when a young man wants something, his ears open up and HE PAYS ATTENTION! That is a very important time we can put the positive life lessons in, his responsibility to himself, his family, community, Creator, etc.
Your posts indicate you have been wrongly influenced by the anti freedom propaganda from the media.
There are only two kingdoms the kingdom of light and the wrong one, those who walk in and represent the kingdom of light are not controlled by irrational fear of inanimate objects or anything else.
