I'm sorry, there are NO good reasons to disarm "regular" folks.

This reminds me of the situation in Australia, where the police
figure now that the crooks know for sure there are no firearms
in people's homes, burglaries have risen dramatically in broad
daylight with people still in their homes. The crooks don't care
if anyone is home anymore.
You don't have to use a gun, the very thought that it might be
there can be a deterrent to criminals.
I know, I know, there's lots of good reasons to disarm regular
folks. But the fact remains, forcible house break-ins have risen
since the 'peasants' have been disarmed.
