And if they all had guns as well, what then?

Then they would've run off like the cowards they are.

Your attitude bothers me a lot, because I find that it utterly lacks self-consistency.

- You say you're not afraid and you feel safe, and yet to keep saying that you're afraid that all these people that commit violent crimes will do that much more if others are allowed to have weapons.

- You say that somehow a situation where one helpless girl is gang-raped by several presumably much stronger people, and yet you claim that somehow a firearm would've made the situation worse. I doubt the girl would've agreed with you.

Furthermore, being the fairly good force multiplier it is, I would say that a bystander carrying a firearm would've a) been more willing to resist a 15-person mob, and b) had a higher chance to resisting successfully.

You seem to have the reality perception of an ostrich. Danger -> boom... right into the sand!
