Someone had to offer this moronic reply ( did someone *really* have to offer
this moronic reply?)

You own a car because it's a necessary tool in pursuing a normal and peacable
life; you might own a 7-inch knife or a hatchet for the same reason. A gun is
not necessary for any normal and peacable purpose other than target sport or
collection. They are recreations, not necessities, and do not justify the 
pitifully lax control of gun ownership.
