If I believed that firearms are intrinsically dangerous - intrinsically in the sense that they could harm a person by themselves, I mean - then I would say yes, I'm being selfish in wanting to keep them.
However, back in the real world, I know from experience that firearms are not intrinsically dangerous; the decision to shoot another person is 1) forced upon me by the actions of that person and 2) is made consciously.
The realities, responsibilities and dangers we acknowledge and accept as gun-owners are much greater than antis would ever credit us with; I believe that I'm not being biased when I say no, I am not being selfish in wanting to keep my firearms in the face of our vocal, yet sadly ignorant opposition.
