Quite. And what's to stop the 5 criminals from carrying guns as well? Pull a gun and get yourself killed in self defence. Great job, Captain America. This is why guns are a stupid thing to give to the public.

I would have said, "This is why guns are a stupid thing to give to stupid members of the public."

There are people out there who can operate a concealed weapon safely. I'm probably not one of them, so I do not own or carry a gun.

In my eyes that makes you more responsible than those who do.
