Meanwhile the statistic in Bowling For Columbine includes statistics where people were killed for defensive purposes, suicide, etc.
Strange Famous, have you ever lived in a wilderness type area? How about an American wilderness where you have animals like bears or wolves? Sure, you might not be attacked by either one, but if you ever come face to face with them and they start coming towards you, you'd want to be holding a nice big gun.

To hunt? Well, I doubt that many gun owners actually do hunt, but those that do dont need to, the state can give them paintball guns and they can go to special centres and have exactly the same experience, without killing and maiming wild animals. If anyone genuinely needs to hunt for food, they should be receive extra welfare so that they can buy enough food to eat which is slaughtered in the conventional way.

I don't know of the exact percentage, but I do know a VERY large majority of gun owners in Wisconsin hunt.
I will say that your comment on hunting is entirely ignorant and doesn't require rebuttal.

What other reasons are there that people actually need to own a gun for?

Why not? I would love to see this poll question to every person in the USA: Have you ever pointed a loaded gun at someone, and if so for what reasons? I can tell you the top two answers. 1) No 2) Yes, because I'm a police officer.
