the fact that the victims have been disarmed also means criminals don't need as many guns.

If criminals, police and piblic are all disarmed, there's just less bulletts flying around generally. There may still be plenty of crme, but there is a lot less homicide (suicide, innocent bystanders caught in corssfire, etc)
