Here’s my reason: I want one (or more). Since the right to keep and bear arms is a pre-political right - it pre-dates the very existence of this nation - it is not subject to regulation or abridgement by the government.

Note that it isn’t a grant of rights, it is a SPECIFIC restriction on government action.
