Because the only people that follow guns laws are <duh> law-abiding citizens.
Just a few weeks ago there a neighbor's house was surrounded by police, as a burglar had fled from a stolen car and entered the house.
Lady in my ward recently murdered by her husband. And convenience store near my house, owner was murdered. A guy in my ward, his sister was working at gas station, and ended up killing an armed robber.
If you don't think guns are a deterrent to criminals, why don't you do an experiment and put a sign on your house "Gun-free home".

So you think gun crime would go up if we tightened gun laws because criminals would feel safe to enter homes knowing there would likely be no one with a gun facing them inside?
I'm ignorant on the literature or studies of what happens when a criminal with a gun goes into a house and is faced by a homeowner with a gun. I'm thinking those probably end up bloodier than if the homeowner never had a gun, but I could be wrong.
