If anything, they make it harder to maintain domestic order in times of crisis.
It's a matter of cost and benefit. Cars kill a lot of people and do a lot of good, so we restrict who can drive them a little. Guns (would) kill a lot of people and - despite the nonsense spewed by their defenders - do very little good to anyone, so we heavily restrict them.
