people without guns are a problem, but people with guns are exponentially a more costly and dangerous problem than without being armed.
It is a specious argument that you are making.
It is a repetition of the false argument made in the statement 'guns don't kill people, people kill people'.
NO, people with guns kill more people, than people without guns do using other methods, and they do so at a distance, more easily.
There is a clear distinction in both the purpose of guns and the lethality of guns. But in any case it is irrelevant, since guns are used to kill. In countries which have more regulated guns, it is not a comparable problem and in states that are more regulated, guns do not pose the same degree of a public health issue either. Further, there are more shootings in guns allowed areas than in gun free zones.
So gun regulation does work, however much gun nuts dislike the statistics.
Guns which fire at a rapid rate, and where there are expanded magazines to permit more bullets to be fired before reloading kill more efficiently than guns which do not.
We are not going to rehash that false argument here Jody, so either start addressing something relating to the economics of this post, or expect to be excluded from the discussion.
