Nah, most of these is just a load of bollocks, more guns won't even remotely help in half of these situations today. Typical constitutional mythos, though all (proper) nations have them, so I guess it's fair not to debate those points with the believers.

Which ones specifically?

I've marked the most bollockish (is there such a word?) reasons. The rest are generally ok, but there're other means. The stronges of all is self-defence.
