I think the gun lobby position has similarities with previous political circle-jerks such as tobacco and automotive safety equipment / environmental impact, but is significantly different to these in regard to the second amendment. Tobacco and autos seem to be getting sorted out, slowly but surely.

I have a handgun by my bed for the same reason that I own lots of other tools; It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
