People who try to reframe the gun control debate as something that needs to be done in order to prevent spree killings and violence are missing the point. Remember that guy who drove a truck filled with fertilizer into a building in Oklahoma and killed tons of people by detonating the vehicle? He didn't even needs guns to do that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahome_city_bombing
We have the right to keep guns in order to keep our own government from clamping down too hard on us. Remember our constitution was written shortly after some rebellious colonists had to use primitive guns and guerilla tactics to defeat an empire's military. They knew something similar might need to happen in the distant future.
