There are other uses for guns.  Here are a couple:

1. Sport/target shooting.  Challenging and fun.

2. Home/personal defense.  Here's a scenario for you - you're home asleep at
3:00AM, and are awoken by a noise.  Turns out it's a couple of thugs breaking
into your house to steal your property and/or rape/kill your wife and teenage
daughter.  They're crazed out on drugs and have no fear, and either have guns
or some other weapon of deadly force like a club or knife.  They come at you
with clear intentions to kill you.  What are you gonna do?  Call the police?
Yell and scream for help?  What will either of those actions get you?  That's
right...... dead.
For someone (like me) who has a loaded pistol in my nightstand, the outcome
will likely be two dead thugs, and my family and property safe.

How can any sane person argue that that is not a valid need/use for a gun?  Are
you willing to give up your life, or your family's lives, because you don't
"feel a need" to have a gun?
