I mean, we need pistols for hunting and self-defence if a bear is running at you and is near.

Maybe, but it's not like they're very trustworthy either. I can easily see them changing their tune just to get votes.

I think everyone should take a safety course. It really explains what's supposed to happen and would probably help a lot of the fearful. Guns are scary, but if you're doing what the course says is mandatory it's not so bad.
