1. As others have said, there's really no way to completely ban guns. As long as guns exist, criminals will find ways of getting them.
   
   
2. There's no way to ban weapons. A great many things can be used as a weapon -- kitchen knives, tools, pieces of pipe, etc.
   
   
3. Violent people and people who will be criminals will always be among us, and they will use whatever is at hand to commit their criminal acts. And the young, strong criminal will always have the means to prey on the weaker, defenseless person.
   
   
4. The police will not always be there.
   
   
5. Ultimately there will be times when an innocents person's only options will be to either be maimed or killed, or to defend himself if he can.
   
   
6. For someone who has bothered to acquire some basic skills, a gun is an effective tool for self defense. There are news stories all the time of innocent people successfully defending themselves. See here and here.
