Okay, according to what study do you claim that firearm related crimes almost never happen by people who legally own a gun? Crimes with firearms are through the roof in the US.
I can't find any data of how much of these people owned legal guns. But to give a recent example: James Holmes owned his firearms legally.
As I posted in another comment, street gangs aren't well-armed in countries with strict gun laws. Sure, there are illegal routes, but it's a lot harder to have better arms than the police if guns are illegal.
There's no criminal organization that goes around killing random civilians. Only psycho's do that, and they usually have nothing to do with criminal organizations. They get their guns using legal methods.
One last tip: if you are being robbed, don't draw a gun. If you do that, they'll shoot you. If you stay unarmed, or you run, then you're not such a threat and they're way less likely to murder you.
What's your opinion on gun control?
