A short YouTube monologue (by Peter Vander Wall) arguing that men should learn to shoot. The speaker describes weekly range practice as a centering habit, claims shooting relies on form and muscle memory, and frames firearm competence as necessary for self-defense amid perceived societal decline. The monologue also asserts that societies succeed when "strong men" defend them and urges listeners to confront fear and learn to use guns.

If you're a dude and you don't know how to shoot, you're not a real man. I hit the range about once a week, and after working out, it's my most important habit to keep me centered. Now, there's a couple reasons why I love shooting. Number one, you kind of have to turn off your brain. Shooting accurately is all about the right form, the right muscle memory, and training your body to do what it knows it's supposed to do without your brain having to even do anything. But reason number two is the world's going to sh and I'm not coming with it. I don't know what's coming, but things are not going in the right direction. And being able to defend myself, I think is a skill that is not going to go to waste. Throughout history, the societies that have flourished the most are the ones where they have strong men defending them. And I believe that's a huge part of the reason the west is crumbling today. At the end of the day, if guns scare you, then the best thing you can do is learn how to use them. You can't run from your fears. You gotta face them head on.
