I think there's two sides to it, really. There have been a lot of things in the news in the past years where people were just abandoned by the legal system and the police. Situations that make me want to get a gun because I'm getting less faith in the people that are supposed to protect me every single day. But as it stands, even if you do own a gun and you have some burglar at gun point waiting for the cops, you're probably going to get more jail time than the burglar for aiming a gun at the person breaking into your house. The police is probably going to draw their guns the second they see you and demand you lay down on the ground next to that same burglar.

So yeah, even though people have time and time again proven they are not responsible enough to own guns, I can see how some people feel the need to have them as the legal system is all about protecting criminals instead of the average Joe.
