My ex-wife posted this question on Facebook the other day. How would I know? Well, when you have children, you're never really divorced. You may marry someone else, but you'll always share those children and have to get along like two rattlesnakes trapped in the same burlap bag. I remember an ad Remington published many decades ago showing a hunter in the wilderness being attacked by a pack of wolves and defending himself with a semi-automatic rifle. It seemed the perfect answer to this question that keeps popping up from the anti-gun crowd. I searched for that ad on the Internet but was disappointed. So, I tried to recreate the "feeling" of it. I wonder how many will understand that the wolves are simply a metaphor for terrorists, criminals, and overzealous bureaucrats. Or will they simply respond, "What wolves?"

They may be your 'ex' but if you have kids they will be in your life forever.
I still remember the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach when my ex reminded me of this reality. The happiest day of my life was the day she walked out the door. The saddest day of my life was when I realized that the ‘crazy train’ would continue making unscheduled stops at the door for the rest of my life.
As to the issue of guns, I am a constitutional purist. My guns are not for hunting, target shooting, or pleasure shooting. They are for the protection of my family against threats local, national, and international. To that end, I choose weapons that are easy to operate, easy to maintain, and easy to reload.
Too many people these days forget that the Second Amendment was not put into place to protect the rights of hunters, but as a safeguard against government over reach. To quote a better man than myself:
"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, December 20, 1787

Since there is no part of the Constitution called the "Bill of Needs" and I like them I don't need any other reason.
