Sounds like the basic goal of a criminal to me. So if said criminals had the majority of weapons in the streets, what would stop them for mugging you as you are on the way home from work? What would stop them from breaking and entering into your home with their buddies and robbing you blind while your kids are asleep?

These studies show that states with more guns have more gun crime as well. Studies found that gun ownership has a direct correlation with gun
