Most gun owners are responsible and careful. The problem is the few that aren't result in a significant number of dead people. Nothing I have seen shows that the rewards outweigh the risks.

Before the 1980s, the only people I knew who kept a handgun were Vietnam war vets. Given what they'd been through, it was understandable. There were hunters, but they mainly had a bolt action rifle, a few supplemented that with a handgun. And that was about it.
