I'm saying "I should worry about X" does not mean "X should be illegal." Clearly everyone should worry more about cars than this firearm. But the usefulness of X has to be weighed against its potential misuse.

Without trying to sound condescending, a car is a far less useful tool for preventing invasion by an enemy nation-state or for defending against tyranny by our own government.

Just because you don't see the practical need for that utility does not negate that such utility exists and (in my opinion) is the express reason for the second amendment.
