Smart crooks carry guns because they wan't to have overwhelming force to reduce the risk of the victim resisting. They don't carry guns to get in shoot outs with anyone. Dumb crooks don't do the equations you think happen, they want to use guns because it makes them a bad ass.
You don't have to try such tortured logic to justify gun control, all you have to do is look to Australia to find a first world example of imposing gun control in modern times and have it work.
