Maybe someone needs one and then again maybe they don't.
But then again, that line of discussion is, as Perry Mason used to say, "irrelevant ant immaterial."
We all have a right to own one if we so choose. That right is inherent in our existence as human beings. As Locke and Jefferson stated, and Blackstone explained, we have a right to our lives, therefore a right to defend our lives, and so we also have the right to the means to defend our lives.
That right was not created by the Second Amendment nor, as SCOTUS ruled in US v Cruikshank, is it dependent of the Second Amendment or the entire US Government for its existence.
Whether or not someone agrees that it should be so or not changes nothing.
