Guns get out of the hands of the citizens and then they can't defend themselves when the criminal gets their hands on the weapon. However, let the citizens free roam with the weapons, and it'll deter the criminal from performing criminal action (unless they're actually batshit insane). Even then, the batshit insane criminal will still be cut short of causing major casualties.
Anyone else agree or wish to expand on this topic?
*I do believe that gun owners should be registered. I wouldn't want every single citizen to be carrying a weapon.

Sure, they make the stupid decision to commit crime, but think about why they use a weapon in the first place. It's because they believe they have the upper hand and it is easier to get the victim to comply. Criminals will not commit crimes on someone who they know is armed because they do not want to die. Do you see criminals trying to rob cops on a frequent basis? The answer is no. It is also a proven fact that criminals stay away from areas that are known to have a lot of registered gun owners.
