Why does everyone "need" a gun? Besides of course keeping the king of England out of your face.

Moving to Tucson a few years ago coming from Canada was a big change politically for me and it took awhile for me to get used to the fact that many people here love to carry weapons. I still remember feeling uneasy the first time I saw a biker with a gun on his belt a couple days after I moved here.
After many conversations with people, most of which are conservatives, I learned that even crazy people have the right to defend themselves against other crazy people.
I will never understand peoples fascination with guns but it is the way things are here. Gun control will never happen. They recently removed the permit that was required to conceal a weapon.
My old boss worked around the store with a gun on his belt. Several employees brought loaded weapons into work and keep them near their computer. It is a small IT company I don't know why everyone needed to be armed.
The response you will hear from people will probably be that if more people were armed at that event it probably wouldn't have gone as bad as it did.
Moving back to my freezing cold homeland has been getting more and more tempting.
