Are you *that* paranoid?
Yes. I grew up in USSR and have seen what happens when citizens are reduced to the status of subjects. Moreover, proficiency with weapons is as practical a skill as giving CPR or using a fire extinguisher: in an emergency, these skills can save lives.

You must be a violent freak.
I and other pro-self defense people abhor violence. We do not, however, expect to be left alone merely by appealing to the best nature of others. While most people live and let live, the exceptions to that practice have to be deterred from preying on lawful humans. That applies to equally the freelance criminals and government thugs. We only have the freedom of expression and other Constitutionally-enumerated rights as long as we stay vigilant.

Do you have a life outside of politics?
I pretend convincingly. Want to see the other side of my life?

Do you view police as your enemy?
No. A police instructor taught me about safe use of firearms in the first place. Most of the individual cops are allies. Unfortunately, in many locations, the heads of police departments are hostile to the people they are supposed to serve.
