Crime is a concern for most Americans. Guns, not so much. Yet, 80% of homicides, 33% of violent crimes and 45% of robberies involve firearms.

So, to fight crime that often involves firearms, because we don’t want to put too many restrictions on owning firearms to protect ourselves from others who own firearms, we bring in law enforcement with firearms to protect us from the people committing crimes, most often with firearms.

I smell a theme here ... and a reason for crime that we are concerned about ... but not so much guns.
