Gun control is about making it difficult for the average Joe to buy, register and own a gun. If process to do this is long, complicated and expensive and forces people to think it's not worth getting a gun after all - it's a good start and I'm ok with it.
If you control the guns, it will make it harder for criminals to get them. Organized crime will still probably be able to get them but the mass murderer who goes berzerk will have a lot harder time getting access to guns.

Also gun control lowers the supply of guns and fewer guns out there makes it harder for criminals to steal them from people who have them.
