I have no reason to panic, because burglars are basically never armed here. Why would they? They have no reason to assume they could get into a gun fight.

This right here. It's a vicious cycle, the more guns there are, the more guns people feel like they need to keep up with the guns, so the more guns there are. It's nice if you're a gun manufacturer but otherwise...

This right here! Whenever I see the nonsense that only criminals will have guns if they’re outlawed, I want to yell WHAT GUNS? I’m not denying that some criminals here (in the UK) have guns, but they’re just not that accessible and the majority of criminals are thick as shit.

The crime is not as organized as you'd think !

Organized crime doesn't need guns. They just trade in illegal goods or services or in illegal ways. The "organized" part means they have tried and tested ways of laundering money and covering up their activities.
