I'm not trying to make a legal argument at all, just a general why the hell do you need any sort of gun comment. What is the ultimate purpose of you, a regular individual, owning a gun?
Edit: and if I'm to lean on weak analogies as above, I would say that society also doesn't allow regular people to own explosives, or specific types of chemicals because of their imbalanced potential for harm to many individuals. So what makes a gun different? Explosives can be used for mining. Chemicals have myriad potential applications. We still restrict ownership and use.

There is a lot in this post I strongly disagree with, and this comes from a guy who only bow hunts, and does not have any firearms or a PAL. I challenge you at some point in your life to join a hunter on a rifle hunt and experience it for yourself. its not nearly as simple as some make it out to be. At least you did not simply say, Why hunt, as this is becoming more common all the time.
Even your analogy is off as you say society doesn't allow regular people to own chemicals. True, However, thru proper training and storage requirements you can obtain them, Just like firearms. Owning firearms is not like we stroll down the street to the local Canadian tire one day and decide to purchase a 30-06.
