If people go on killing just as much but they use clubs or whatever, it doesn't matter much.
Its kinda easier to kill people with a gun thouhg. Im ena you shoot someone it doesn't even ahve to be ciritacal fo them to die of shock/blood loss/cardiac arrest pretty damn quickly and most thugs aren't actaully interested in killing people - it tends to generate a little too much police interest.

citizens are more vulnerable to armed thugs, who can operate with the assurance that their victims won't be better armed than they are. If a mugger knows his knife won't be trumped by a legal handgun
So he gets a handgun, and since he'll probably have it out first, you're now more screwed becease he has more chance of shooting you if you try to pull it out.
