You are correct technically, but with a reduced amount of weaponry, there is also a reduced amount of violent crime (See Canada's urban areas vs America's urban areas).

If there was an outright ban on weapons in urban areas, crime would decrease in urban areas. Anything that makes it more difficult for a criminal to do criminal activities in an urban setting will reduce crime.

However, defaulting to a stance of "well cops technically don't need to intervene" is not listening to a different set of ideas and experiences. I am actually advocating for both gun control and the protection of gun rights that is completely dependent on location.
