Why civilians are allowed firearms in USA is beyond me. No one except police and military should be allowed those.

Because it is a right of every citizen to own guns to defend themselves and their famlies from both criminals and government agents.  It is the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution because the people that created the US Constitution thought it was extremely important to make sure this right was not taken away.  Additionally, firearms are both a lot of fun and used to defend people from animals all over the US (dog, bear, wolf, moose...)

You don't have to understand this freedom, you don't have to like it and you don't have to want it.  However, keep in mind that if someone tried to remove it in a place like AK, MT or NH, it could lead to violent revolt or even the forming of new nations.


Here here.  And you left out a lot of states that would be on that list.
