Heck, I mentioned it elsewhere, my uncle used to live in Nunavik, didn’t own one, they had one hunting rifle per work team in their truck, but that’s exactly my point, he didn’t personally needed one, but he needed one while at work because his job would bring him all over the place and they could meet dangerous wildlife. The worst that could happen at home was having a bear on his deck in the morning and he would just call and a couple minutes later authorities were there to make it go away or do a catch and release.
From the get go my take is that a minority of people need guns. My uncle worked for the transport ministry in a location where the biggest town has a couple hundreds permanent residents, his job was to go check all the dirt roads around, no shit he would need a rifle for work. At home he clearly didn’t need one though because well… He was in town, at home!
Yeah, in remote locations the local authorities take care of wildlife that decide to come inside the towns, people don’t just go shooting bears left and right, that’s pretty obvious when you think about it for more than 2 seconds.

“My uncle didn’t need a gun except when he did every day at work.”
“If there was a bear at his door he’d just call the bear guys and they’d come and make the bear leave.”
This is my favorite take in this entire thread.
