The reason is that the gun is an equalizer. You can bet criminals will not obey laws restricting the type or number of firearms allowed or magazine capacity or type of ammo. Do you really want to fend off a criminal or two or three or four who are armed with pistols and perhaps semi-auto rifles or shotguns with your 3-shot "air taser?!" Pepper spray?!

Unfortunately this argument relies on the, "if the criminals have a gun, therefore I need a gun argument." And I agree with you, criminals don't follow the laws. So if criminals are armed with hand-grenades, should I also be allowed to own hand-grenades? It's a slippery slope you see..
