And finally, if someone can explain why anyone needs to own one of these machine pistols, automatic weapons, even a pistol, maybe I could be convinced.

The nuts out there are half the reason I want/need a gun. Protect myself from those nuts.
The other half has nothing to do with nuts, but with well meaning but power hungry and sometimes stupid lawmakers. The people should have the means to defend themselves from their government.
Pistols, thats easy. Its pretty hard to carry a shotgun around, and if a gunfight is going to break out I'd have a lot better of winning if I have a gun. Win a firefight with a fire extinguisher (in leu of a firetruck), win a gunfight with the most available means, a handgun (in leu of long arms, or police/military assistance).
Why not machine pistols and automatic machine guns? I am proficeient with a shotgun, which I could do a lot of damage with. But it hasn't caused me to commit all sorts of crime. Maybe a faster spray of bullets would help me sometime down the road. Plus its just fun to shoot them.
