> What do you need a gun to defend yourself against?

An escaped inmate holding your family hostage? http://www.vicksburgpost.com/2016/03/10/man-killed-following...

A crazy man on a hatchet rampage? http://www.vicksburgpost.com/2016/03/10/man-killed-following...

A violent criminal attacking you in an elevator? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3481507/Woman-leaves...

Of course defensive gun use doesn't fit the anti-gun narrative so it must not happen.
