Maybe, in some instances. There's your hunter who is keep alive a tradition, the paranoid who keeps a gun because he's afraid of the government, and then I think there are those who buy them for the coolness factor. There seems to me to be a very limited uses of a gun in America today. I think the explicit individualism may be one possible reason for owning a gun (or smoking, for that matter) but certainly not the only one.
But then there's the consitutional argument, but that's the stock argument that obscures all the real reasons one would buy a gun.
