It is in the nature of people to fight and exploit others. No pacifist society would last long without weaponry. Hence, we need people to make weapons. I’m also an animal lover who eats meat and recognise the hypocrisy in my position.

The trouble with weapons is that after we’ve made them we are no longer in control of how they are used. I would rather use my talents to improve other people’s lives but I understand why people make guns.
