A question then, if such were the case then how come countries with very strong gun control, e.g., Canada for instance, are not overrun with armed criminals?
Last I looked the homicide rates, and most other crime rates for Canada, as well as firearm related suicides and accidents are far lower on a per capita basis than the US. It would seem to me that by controlling access to firearms you also end up reducing firearm related crimes, accidents and suicides.
