I had this discussion with a friend on Faceplace last night. He asked why anyone needed a machine gun. I countered with "Why do you need an Audi RS4?". He gave the usual "cars have a legitimate purpose...blahblahblah". I pointed out that cars kill far more people each year than guns, he countered with "proportionately, cars are safer", when in fact there are more guns in private hands than there are cars registered in the US, so on that metric, cars are almost 3 times as deadly as guns. Conversation over.
