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.

Will anything happen if you fire a bullet that has already been fired?
There are bullets (that is the projectile that gets shot out of the barrel) and cartridges (cartridge case, powder, primer, bullet) It may be possible to recover a fired bullet, load it into a cartridge case with a new primer and powder, and shoot it again- BUT bullets are generally rather soft, and likely to get bent up on impact. Once a CARTRIDGE has fired, it needs to have the old primer removed, new one installed, fresh charge of gunpowder put in place, and THEN load a bullet into the cartridge case.
