The U.S. is an armed society and yet many of those so armed citizens wind up victims of various crimes, armed or not. I soon expect the gun grabbers will begin to preach that having a gun will not stop crime so give up you guns. Never going to happen at this location, PERIOD!
I remember former mayor of NYC Bloomberg saying it’s better to have a cellphone next to your bed than a gun.

Anti-gun people have already done this. For decades: first time the notion appeared in the general media was in the 1970s (if memory serves).
The assertion was typically accompanied by “supporting data,” which usually boiled down to stray remarks from some social-science researcher trying to talk up their dishonest conclusions coming out of their flawed study (happened before the public was alerted to the existence of push-polling, though “scientific” studies undertaken to “prove” a conclusion or political stance already committed to has bedeviled research for centuries).
Those times also predated public realization that the “helping” or “caring” professions (medicine, psychiatry, therapy, counseling) were being corrupted in the name of “compassion.”
