Well, to over simplify , violence begets violence, fear breads more fear... and on and on it goes.
Generally speaking I believe owning a gun for self "protection" only attracks the thing that you are afraid the most. So many times we hear stories of how the gun used during a crime was the victims own gun..used against them.
Also, one of my dearest friends lost her fiance to an accidental gun shot a week before the wedding.
I detest even looking at them. They are made for one thing and one thing only... to KILL other human beings and living creatures.
That's really horrible. I'm really sorry to hear about your friend.
The point you make is bang on the money, they are DESIGNED to kill. If you want to protect yourself, get an alarm system. There wouldn't be any issues on the sreets if others didn't have guns.
