Guns aren't evil; PEOPLE are evil.
It is the person who pulls the trigger who is the problem not the weapon. Would you outlaw knives? People stab other people with them as well. It is alo worth noting that in many situations guns are used for good purposes such as self-defense.
Onto the actual topic, the US and it's allies are the few countries that can be trusted with nuclear weapons. If you say that everyone has the right to posses them then you have a situation where countries are constantly threatening each other. This would be a problem especially with radical Islamic and communist countries, we would live in a cut-throat world. With just the US, it's allies, and other friendly countries(excluding North Korea, who shouldn't have any in the first place)having them we help insure that another country won't make an aggressive move towards the allies.
