I'm in Australia and it's a pretty chill place and most criminals don't have guns. Of course there's some that do but it isn't anything like the lawless wasteland you describe. My feeling is that most criminals that have guns use them against other criminals, like bikies to control drug territory or whatever, not for stealing random stuff from 80 year olds huddled in their house. I don't want more people to have guns here. I do sort of understand how US citizens could feel different though, there are SO many guns everywhere that definitely every bad guy has a gun. But I also think that those people vastly underestimate how successful laws can be to get rid of the guns. It would take some time but it could definitely work. How many automatic weapons do you see used now they have been made illegal? People get up in arms even to make the suggestion that you don't need semiautomatic rifles for target shooting, like it's the biggest burden ever to have to use a bolt-action, which might actually slow down today's school shooter a bit...
