To me, I understand what I THINK he meant when he said empowering. I didnt take it the way you and fred are positioning it. I think there is play on the connotation of the word empowering that your view is taking.
When I read his post, MY interpretation was that handling and responsible use of a firearm makes one feel like they are controlling something powerful, and that gives them a sense of being able to handle more things that life throws at them.....gun related or not. I am not saying my interpretation is right or wrong, just adding my POV.
