One reason is that they sacrifice their life to be in the wars, They don't get to come home if there kids graduate or to see there babies born. They don't get to see anybody graduate or come home on holiday…

Imagine: school shootings, terrorist attacks, world wars, and armies all without one thing, guns. The world has changed in many ways over time since the invention of the gun itself, and quite a few things could have happened completely different or even yet, not at all without this one invention.
