Peaches, uses of long guns by a hunter, someone living in the country side, etc, is something that is forseeable as a "tool". A handgun in a house in Jacksonville, Florida is NOT a "tool" use - it is protection from the other people with guns.
Because everyone is allowed to have guns, you all have guns. Because you all have guns that serve no other worldly purpose except to scare away other people with guns, it is an endless loop. Mutually Assured Destruction on a smaller, one on one scale.
Just as that was an insane part of the history of the cold war, MAD on a personal level is not more logical.
You bought it. You get to live with it.
