I have never needed a gun to defend myself either, but people in large cities where criminals/drug dealers live do need them. I don't even own a gun, but I don't object to others owning and carrying them.
I hope non-Americans have the idea that all Americans carry a pistal on the hips and have shoot-outs in the streets like they do in old western movies. We may be nuts, but we aren't crazy. Hollywood gives Americans a bad reputation for that, and makes non-Americans think that all we do all day is shoot at each other.

I don't see anything wrong with having a gun for self defense. We can't and we shouldn't rely on the government to protect us. The government failed to protect the citizens of New Orleans after Katrina. They were left to fend for themselves.
Regulating gun laws doesn't help any. Those that want a gun to do harm will break the law to get a gun. Adding more laws won't do any good.
