Often, they work as a leverage point between criminal and civilian.
They turn a civilian into a vigilante if others are threatened.
It takes 5 minutes for cops to come but 5 seconds to have the weapon ready as i said in juqs better america thread, a trained criminal with a gun is much more likely to kill a civilian with a gun than the other way around and a civilian with a gun is more likely to get killed than a civilian without a gun as the civilian with a gun is seen as more of a threat, the gun just makess you a target and is almost useless to you if your not trained as most civilians arent
If mutual assured destruction worked, then mutual assured murder works moreso. this isnt true, because of the simple fact that a nuke doesnt kill the whole country so there is someone stillable to fire a nuke back while with a gun someone immediately dies so the quickest one wont die, in MAD both or none will die in MAW one will die every time
Without guns criminals get the guns. There's a lot more people in America across a vaster expanse. There are many cops but they can't be everywhere instantly.
Most gun murders arent premeditated just drunk or angry people, even if criminals still have guns ( which I'm not so sure about) it would still lower the amount of murders And thieves wouldn't go through all the trouble of getting a gun illegally so if you found a robber in your house instead of a gun ffight the robber would rub away or knock you out which wouldn't kill you so it would also help there
There are millions of guns in this country, many of which are not registered. The criminal isn't going through as much trouble as you think he is , especially if the black market just grew to accommodate more people.
