There is no 'need' required for ANY firearms ownership (or any OTHER item, even those lacking enumerated recognition in the Bill of Rights).
The tyrants/statists/prohibitionists are the ones who have to demonstrate 'need'.... what is their 'need' to ban bump-stocks, or whatever the latest 'bad' item is...??? Unless they can convincingly demonstrate 'need' to ban the item, AND demonstrate an actual benefit that would be guaranteed, they have ZERO claim of authority. EVEN THEN, if they demonstrated a 'need' to ban a type of firearm, and a 'benefit' from doing so, it is STILL prohibited, because (...duhh...) it is 'infringing'.... The Second Amendment doesn't say that ".....shall not be infringed, except if it might save lives...." Sorry, but that just isn't the reality...

Doc, good post. Defining their own version of 'need' is how they banned a lot of Australias guns and possibly the UK from memory.
Yup, when merry old England had self defense as a "need" for handguns there was little crime requiring handguns to be actually used, SO the government assumed that there was no "need" for handguns for self defense..... A bit like saying, your house hasn't caught fire so there's no "need" for a fire extinguisher.....
In Northern Ireland self defense is still a valid "need" for a handgun, strange how a government can treat it's citizens so differently...
As i understand it, your second amendment requires you to be adequately armed with firearms of current military use, in 1700s there was no talk of you being limited to matchlocks because flintlocks were only for the military. Today the technology has changed but not the principal.
Whatever you do always give 100%........... unless you are donating blood.
Need? Nope! The Government is PROHIBITED in plain language from preventing us from having firearms as we want and can obtain.
