No one disagrees with you. That is what the entire balancing argument is about.
We let some criminals escape prosecution to protect us from the power of an unlimited police force.
Right now we let criminal own guns but there is no potential damage from the other side to balance. What do innocent people gain from letting criminals have unlimited access to buy guns? There is no counter-balance. Citizens could still own guns with licensing and registration laws, but it would make it much more difficult for criminals to buy and posses them.
