I think the basic reason for people to have guns is the same as the basic reason for them to have drugs, sex, rock'n'roll, cars, religions, and so forth -- they want to have them.
It's hard for to me imagine any argument against their freedom to do so which would not apply even more strongly to the agencies which would be required to deprive them of that freedom.
