Hoo boy. There's just so much to cover here, that I'll just stick with a basic premise:

Firearms function as a force equalizer - no more and no less.

As such, the solution to present issues is neither to arm everyone, nor to disarm everyone, as neither of those solutions have anything at all to do with the root issues.

Further, there are benefits to allowing civilian armaments, and the level to which a state allows such can be an important barometer of several political realities.

If you can see and accept the above premises we can have a further conversation, but if not we're not likely to be able to have a discussion on the matter that does not end up at lease somewhat emotionally motivated.
