Because of the rifling inside the barrel. If you want to know the purpose of that, the answer is, it causes the bullet to travel farther and more accurately, just like when you throw a football.

Why does a gun put spin on it's bullet when the gun is fired?

Because a spinning bullet travels in a straighter line, for further, than a bullet which is not spinning. So, in a word, "accuracy" is why a gun puts a spin on a bullet. Not all of the guns put spin on the bullet though. Those that do have rifled barrels(grooved on inside). There are also smooth bore guns that do not cause the projectile to spin.
