If I may spin a metaphor - guns are like a sort of insurance. Education is like the paycheck. The paycheck puts food on the table and a roof over one's [family's] head. Insurance does not do that. (Ordinarily.) However, insurance is nice to have when things go bad. Chances are things won't go bad, and most people live just fine in an underinsured condition. In a normal suburban life, guns are unnecessary. In a perfect world, guns would be completely unnecessary. (That eight-point whitetail buck would just walk up to Bubba, lie down and say "Eat me.") Since the world is neither perfect nor just, I like having steady pay and some insurance. Call me spoiled.
