Either way guns laws have no effect on criminal use of guns...criminals will still being using guns regardless...

I think that's crazy talk after you agree with making it more difficult to use a handgun you don't think that making it harder to get the handgun wouldn't cut down on their use. I don't think criminals come in just one type just as regular law abiding joes come in one type. There are some crooks who are non violent, some who are violent but don't use weapons and some who like and use guns. The more guns out there the more chance some non violent type has to raise the bar to survive.
I know in my experience, when I've been threatened, I've wanted to kill or at least cause someone some heavy damage and thankfully I didn't have a gun handy to test that desire. I don't think I'm alone in feeling that and I'm a pretty mellow guy.
