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 are a number actually, just remove yourself from the city for a brief moment. Every farmer/ rancher I know has a gun, with livestock protection (coyotes) being the biggest reason, rodent/ pest control (muskrats, magpies, gophers) being another. Of course there’s also the hunters and sport shooters
