Well....all those previous replies were excellent. When I recall why I own, I go through various reasons, but ultimately gravitate towards the one core reason: keeping the USA free. I'm a movie freak, and I often think about the first Red Dawn movie, where the US was attacked and occupied; our military was unable cover all our real estate. As improbable as that scenario is, I was shocked to see scenes where civilians were rounded up and either imprisoned, used as political weapons, or simply shot. We see this every day in the news in Iraq, Syria and in Africa. This crap never will cease to exist and resting on our laurels here in the States is not wise. There's a more obscure Australian film, more recent, that depicts a "north korea" invasion of their country. Most people had no guns, but there were a few -- hence the plot of the movie. Even Hermann Goering stated "they'll never bomb this place" (sometimes to humorous reply). People believe what their governments tell them; and often they are wrong. Just my two cents....
