Asking for more sorrow

As an Englishman I am not accustomed to the "right to carry guns", though "carrying guns" is slowly growing in the UK. But to defend the right to carry arms is only promoting the right to murder isn't it?
Its is getting like the chicken and the egg, where someone has to accept responsibility for the acts of their fellow countrymen, men who kill for no reason.
It remind me of the song by the "Boomtown Rats" … "I don't like Mondays" was given as the only reason for a killings many years ago.

It seems there are strong arguments for and against, but I am happy to be in the UK where I feel safer.

Could anyone, hand on heart, say that owning a gun prevents serious crime? Does every gun owner think they are safe because they own a gun?

@Uncfred No, they don't think they are safe. They do think they are safer and they won't have to wait for someone else to get there to protect them. They can protect their self.
