20 years ago you were lucky to get ten shots. 10 years you'd have been lucky to get 100. Today depending on your print, you may be lucky to get 1000. In ten years, you'll probably be lucky to get 10k (which starts to reach life of barrel). 1k is a little low vs manufactured firearms, but then again some firearms like RAS-47 (american made shitty cast AK) often last only that long. You see where this is going? [ and most gun owners probably don't even put 1k rounds through their gun ]

>since it's what allows people who aren't fools (i.e. people who have the sense to avoid doing things that could land them in jail even though they personally think they should be able to do those things) to own and use a gun.

I don't think I'd call say someone who got caught with a scary mushroom 10 years ago a fool for wanting to be able to defend himself and his family.
