That doesn't explain how you remove the guns from the criminals.
What makes you think that allowing only the government to be armed is a good thing?
Historically, gun control leads to mass murder:

Guns exist.
You can't put the genie back in the bottle.
The instant guns were invented, they became
necessary to balance the good guys with guns against the bad guys with guns.
There is no undoing this. Bad guys will always have guns. People can make them in their garages.
When you are in trouble, do you call a cop? That's a guy WITH A GUN.
