They have resorted to crime of this magnitude for whatever reason. They are preparing for the higher risk by becoming more dangerous in combat. You're going to rob this place for whatever reason, you've chosen that location specifically so you know the risks, and therefore go in prepared. As soon as you pick up a gun with malicious intent you are risking death.

I highly doubt that any criminal out there is risking death by robbing a single person or a convinience store. Most criminals want to feel superior to the person whom they are robbing, and as a result chose targets they
know they can overwhelm.
Now, if they knew that everyone just might be wielding a firearm, I think they'd back down. Sure, they'd consider taking the necessary precautions, such as arming themselves with deadlier weapons, or protecting themselves with kevlar, but in the end, they just
wouldn't know what they'd be facing, and as a result would rethink whether or not they should commit the crime in the first place.

Not when everyone else is carrying them as well. Still, if you are going out with obvious weapons and the intent to use them, you aren't going to go down without a fight. The undertaker buys a boat.

True, but in a city where everyone wields firearms, firing at a single person may be met with a shower of bullets from other citizens. I don't think they'd risk it. Even if they
thought they'd have the upper hand.
