Nah, most people don't NEED a gun. (Thank goodness!) But people don't NEED golf clubs, snowmachines, or basketballs either. Some people enjoy owning, collecting and shooting guns as a hobby. I've "killed" a lot of clay pigeons and targets in my life, and it's fun. And most certainly dangerous to no one.
I take my 82 year old dad to the trap club so he can shoot skeet with his shotgun. He likes to still feel young doing it. It's quality time we spend together. It's just a hobby ... not a political statement or a danger to society at large.

"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
