I think the parent commenter is also living in a bit of a bubble and thinking that all of America lives in a monoculture. There are still points in this country that are patrolled by a single sheriff and a couple of deputies and can be more than 10 minutes out. This doesn't mean they need an arsenal at their disposal, but supposing that they they need NO guns for farm work, hunting or protection from animals or people is either disingenuous or unimaginative.
