I think the question of whether guns are "necessary" is pretty core to the culture war about guns.
Like so many aspects of the US culture war, the red/blue tribe split here is actually a rural/urban split.
In rural areas, you need a gun. You just do.
In cities, they're, best case, an expensive toy.

Zinn is well known among organizers of public events in Salt Lake City and often showed up in public forums intending to disrupt the event or question the high-profile speaker, The New York Times reported.
He was arrested in 2013 for sending a threatening email to the organizers of the Salt Lake City Marathon days after the Boston Marathon bombing, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.
A modest proposal: Replace all social science professors with economists.
They have the methodological training and interests to fully replace sociology, political science, and much of anthropology, psychology, etc.
They're only moderately left leaning instead of being dogmatically so.
And there's currently a surge of economists desperate for work thanks to the government hiring freezes. Now is the perfect time to strike!
Notre Dame supplies a template for purging marxists from the academy. They formed a new "econometrics" department, gave them the courses that students actually need to take. Then after enrollment in the old "heterodox" econ department withered, they binned the entire thing. (Tenure only protects individual faculty; entire departments can still be shut down if they aren't financially viable.)
