That's probably because you see the world through life in a basically secure nation, and (I'm assuming) feel the government that we have is a natural state. Much like Maslow's Hierarchy would imply, many people don't feel that level of security, and so they want the ability to secure themselves and their families properly. Guns, in the hands of trained people, are a protective instrument like no other. They definitely can give a sense of security to the owner and a sense of self-protection if the government were to turn from the past to a more oppressive form.
