Reaction times prevent the good guy with the gun from preventing the bad guy with the gun before they are dead. You'd realistically need 2 good guys or someone else to fall first for the pro gun argument to work.

 It's called mutually assured destruction. The majority of criminals aren't suicidal. They simply want to commit their crime, gain what they can, and disappear. Knowing that at any moment someone else could pull a gun on them dampers their will to commit the crime in the first place. It's why places with the least restcitive gun laws end up having the least gun related crimes. If people are so set banning guns because people can use them to kill other people, then you might as well ban the other million and one items people can use to kill other people. 

Gun crime is worse in the UK than the US?
