Additionally, the population of Australia is like 7% the Population of the United States. If you took all other things as even.
B) Read the studies.
C) Most drug dealers in the US don't carry guns. A lot of them are felons.. and its a crime for a felon to carry a gun. Shit in the state I live in if your a felon and you have a gun you get 10 years in jail.
Generally criminals keep their weapons at home unless they are planning to comit a crime/think someone is after them.
Also, i think you understimate the gun blackmarket. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-10-17/illegal-gun-trade-dominates-crime-conference/5030028

Guns bans successful in lowering both gun homicide and gun suicide rates in Australia:
http://andrewleigh.org/pdf/GunBuyback_media.pdf
"their findings discount a previous study in the British Journal of Criminology in 2006, which found the buyback had no impact on either gun homicide or suicide rates."
"models used in that study [the ones that found no reduction] were not appropriate and results were inconsistent."
