Because in SOME areas, the elected members of the legislature thought this would be a good thing. A license (or licence) is not required in all places, because laws vary place to place.

Do you need a permit to buy a gun in Florida?

Yes, as long as you are also a resident of Florida. Sorry, I should have also said this: You can buy a handgun from a private party if you don't live in Florida, but to be legal, the owner would have to ship the gun to a dealer in your state, and you would have to pick it up there. There will almost always be a charge for that.
