I think if you have to ask that question, you don't fundamentally grasp the problem at hand.
Imagine you're at a restaurant, and suddenly, the place is being robbed at gunpoint. Sitting at the table next to you is the local yokel that fancies himself Dirty Harry, and he whips out his gun and starts firing. Now you've got a gunfight with innocent people caught in the crossfire.
Sure, the restaurant needs to take precautions against gun crime, but the absolute last thing we should be thinking is that adding more guns to the situation is somehow a working solution.
