Another reason: The government agents will not have to pry the gun from your cold, dead hands.

Australians gave up their guns. Now the police are threatening to arrest those that show up to protest mask mandates and other Covid restriction.
Gee, it is almost like the government knows it can only enslave an unarmed citizenry.
Problem: How do I prove to that nice Government Vaxxer/Inspector that I had that tragic boating incident? Ever try to prove a negative to a bureaucrat? My luck would be that the person at the door would be Lois Learner and me without a gun in the house!
Does the confiscation include air guns?
It will in the future.

Just a hunch, but I bet this lofty, peace bill does not pass the Texas legislature.
----------------------------------
If you are a Second Amendment person you will find this almost laughable ...
In Texas, State Representative Terry Meza (D- Irving) has introduced HB196. Her bill would repeal the state's "Castle Doctrine." This doctrine allows a homeowner to use deadly force against an armed intruder who breaks into his home. "I'm not saying that stealing is okay," Meza explained. "All I'm saying is that it doesn't warrant a death penalty. Thieves only carry weapons for self-protection and to provide the householder an incentive to cooperate. They just want to get their loot and get away. When the resident tries to resist is when people get hurt. If only one side is armed fewer people will be killed."
Meza was quick to reassure that her bill would not totally prevent homeowners from defending themselves.
Now listen to what she has to say...
Under her new law, “… the homeowner's obligation is to flee the home at the first sign of intrusion. If fleeing is not possible, he must cooperate with the intruder. But if violence breaks out it is the homeowner's responsibility to make sure no one gets hurt. The best way to achieve this is to use the minimum non-lethal force possible because intruders will be able to sue for any injuries they receive at the hands of the homeowner.
"In most instances the thief needs the money more than the homeowner does," Meza reasoned. "The homeowner's insurance reimburse his losses. On balance, the transfer of property is likely to lead to a more equitable distribution of wealth. If my bill can help make this transfer a peaceful one so much the better."
