Just because you bleat out "you worship guns" - doesn't mean it's true. In fact - such pronouncements pretty much put everything else you say into serious question. If you just make shit up on the fly, and pronounce it as fact - nobody will much listen to you .
So - why do we own guns?
It's not for duck hunting. It's not for "sporting purposes" (whatever the fuck that is). It's not because we are some drooling maniac just waiting for the chance to kill someone.
It's because we pay attention.

You may think that it you pass a bunch of laws to get rid of guns, you're going to make the world all safe - nobody will die - gentle rains will fall, the sun will shine, the crops will flourish - and all the children will be happy, well fed, smart and good looking.

Sorry sunshine - this world doesn't work that way. At least not with the nasty bastards that inhabit the upper part of the food chain.
If history shows us anything -- and the way it keeps repeating itself (in new and interesting ways) - we can be assured that NO civilization lasts peacefully forever. You can bury your head in the sand and believe that the world is going to take care of you - and everything is going to be peachy. Reality? You stuck there with your head in the sand and your ass in the air makes a perfect opportunity for the world to slam you one in the ass.
You can call gun owners paranoid - but the fact is - being unarmed, and insisting on everyone being unarmed is simply a coward's admission to defeat. Will the gun owner prevail in all situations? Nope. But - he won't lose in every one either. The guy without a gun? When things get real ugly - he's going to wish he had one. Or he'll just curl up in a corner and wait for the end.
The gun owner is at least prepared to TRY.
You're so limited.
