A chimpanzee can pull a trigger and kill (let alone a mentally disabled human), and that doesn't make him more of a man. The world is full of killers, and I find nothing manly about any of them. After 20 years of martial arts, I can confidently say that the manliest men in this field that I have ever met not only know how to remove a gun from an armed assailant, they can render him completely helpless without inflicting a *single* injury. Yeah, I know that doesn't sit well with men who think hurting others (or killing them, take your pick) is somehow a manly quality. See, compassion and masculinity are mutually compatible. Most men I know who refuse to see this are cowards in their own way, and their blustering does nothing to hide that in my eyes.

All of the other points (particularly the first four, which many people seem to have a great deal of trouble with) are very important, and for some, more applicable than the one about knowing your weapon.
