Owning a firearm in this day and age is one thing, in matters of self-defense, but it still doesn't justify the preoccupation some have with semi-automatics and other ridiculous firearms truly designed for destruction. I can't realistically see any attempt to ban or recall firearms at this point, but I still feel that they should not have been made in the first place. That's just me, though.
Welcome to reality.

Surely then the police and military don't need firearms? I mean after all, in the United States we trust a soldier to lug around a f.ully automatic M16 or M4 yet we don't allow them to drink a beer until they are 21.

I didn't realize one gun was somehow more deadly than the other? I sure wouldn't want to be shot with any gun. How can a chunk of steel be as dirty as porn or erotica? If guns never existed, we'd be saying "God praise the queen" and flying a British flag. Do you find other weapons offensive like swords or bows which..by the way more people were likely killed in the dark ages with these primitive weapons than firearms.

Personal security you know.
It's no wonder guns were banned in Scotland, you guys are crazy. Here in the states, I would never shoot a neighbor for looking at me funny.
