That's an apples-and-oranges comparison. I have never needed a gun. I can't think of anyone I know who has ever needed a gun. I've known plenty of hunters who love their guns, but they could get along without them if necessary. By comparison, my inlaws in Manhattan are the only people I know who don't need their own car.

And another thing, I don't see any serious danger of guns being banned in this country. Over regulated, perhaps, but not banned.
