There are laws that regulate guns: acquisition, registration, carrying, etc. Do you know what all those laws have in common in all territories?
1) Criminals give absolutely zero fucks about your any laws, regulations, rules, ordinances or any form of compliance with authorities. Many of them see the law as a challenge, not as something to comply with. They are set out to compete against the system, not collaborate with it.
2) Pre-industrial humans without power tools could manufacture guns. Now, virtually anyone has more than enough resources to make a gun if so they wanted, or a ballistic knife, crossbow, sword, etc. Or a fucking trebuchet or a cannon. This means that any regulations about acquisition, registration, carrying, etc. are worth shit.
3) Firearm regulations also apply to law enforcement. But guess what happens when organized crime acquires more firepower than law enforcement? Then law enforcement is fucked and they lose territorial control. Because if you have a fucking squirt gun and criminals have fully automatic weapons you will think twice before attending a dispatcher call.
Go to Mexico, they have very comprehensive laws that you will love. They also have narcos executing policemen on the streets on video. And organized crime armies with uniforms, insignia, marked vehicles and a war arsenal including anti-aircraft weapons.
The system you live in is facilitated by gun ownership. A system that does scale well. Gun control doesn't fucking scale, it never has, unless you live in a police state that you also hate. But extortion and organized crime does scale once gun control is in effect, and can take over a country very quickly.
Feel free to downvote now, I don't care. Gun control sucks. If you love it so much go live to a country with strict gun control (in this continent).
If you are lucky and make it to age 80, you will find yourself outliving your closest family members, living alone on some shitty retirement money that is now worth shit due to inflation, without health insurance, having to rent the house you once lived in and living in a cheaper neighborhood where people will know you are an old, slow, harmless person. You cannot afford a dog because you spend all your money on meds. So you will be crying for a gun to protect yourself. But you won't have a gun because you spent your life arguing against them, and after several consecutive administrations with your favorite political party in power, gun control is a reality. Your last moments in this world will be some criminal causing you to lose your balance, fall and die as he escapes with all your valuable shit, thanking you for supporting gun control. He is loving that shit. It is cruise control for crime. In an alternate universe, you opposed gun control, you deterred the crime using your the gun you bought in the supermarket without registration or permits, and smiled as you pulled the trigger ending the criminal's attempt to rob you. Then you went back to your living room, put on some chill music and continued solving your Sunday sudoku.
