Well actually most of the crimes that actually are prevented in the US are
done so by armed citizens. So imposing gun control on law abiding citizens,
would be like hacking off ones left arm to save ones right little finger.
(Criminals are going to have guns regardless.) It is already easier for
people to purchase guns on the Black Market than it is to purchase them
legally.

I would hazard a guess that most of the homicides are also due to ‘armed’
people. Imposing gun control on law abiding citizens will prevent and slow down
the number of guns getting into the hands of criminals. Less guns in total can
only mean less guns for criminals. Less guns to steal from law abiding citizens
and stores means less guns to buy on the black market, therefore making it more
difficult to purchase an illegal gun.
Criminals cannot have guns *if* there are no guns to have.
