But even in the most complete societal breakdown scenario we experienced, the overwhelming majority of people didn't need guns.

The chaos was mostly limited to stores being looted, not personal property, and having guns at home won't help you protect your flooded store.

That being said, I wouldn't ban handguns or rifles, but the fact is that almost everybody that owns a gun won't ever need to defend themselves with it even under the most dire circumstances.
