They are used for other things, like putting dinner ON the table.

How many people do you know that use a gun to put dinner ON the table on a regular basis.?
I would wager that 99.9% of the meat consumed in this country was
not killed by the person who is actually eating it. When is the last time you went out and shot something and brought it home and ate it? If you can actually remember doing such a thing, what percentage of your diet did that carcass represent?
But whatever. I've got nothing against hunting, per se, but it isn't a valid reason for everyone to own a firearm. If you are a hunter and you need a gun to hunt your food then fine. If you are a regular jackass on the street, there is no reason for you to own a handgun or assault rifle.
It seems so strange to me that people would argue that more guns = safer place to live. If that was the case, wouldn't the US be safer than, say, Sweden?
