First, find something better to do.
Second, you picked that completely out of context, yet there's nothing wrong with wishing humanity didn't have guns or wars. It's utopia. Outside utopia, in the real world, I am neutral. I enjoy target and skeet shooting with my kids and friends, that's about the extent of it. I don't care about personal protection. Don't need guns for that.
Third, you must be young. I learned the Socratic Method when I was in high school decades ago. It's a productive and non-confrontational way to engage in conversations where we can both discover our positions and, perhaps, but not necessarily, guide each other towards conclusions. I've had many amazing discoveries in my life through this approach. And, no, I am not always correct.
Anyhow, I wanted to have a genuine conversation with you and the original person to whom I asked that simple question. Instead it turned into a lot of wasted effort. It would have been far simpler to answer (or ignore) the simple question and engage (or not) in an exploration of ideas, which can be very enjoyable.
BTW, I own several companies. We engage in this kind of exploration every day in order to discover flaws or new ideas in the various projects we undertake. It is a really productive way to explore corners of thinking or areas previously not well understood.
Another method is the "five why's". I haven't really used it much so I can't comment.
JAQ-ing off, sealioning,..., please.
