It's a vicious circle. Burglars wear guns because they expect the house owner to have one. And the house owner gets better guns because he knows the burglar will bring one. It can only get uglier from there. Of course there is hardly a way back from this situation.
Burglars bring guns because they're robbing somebody! What burglar would come into a home and not bring a weapon? What, he will just point his finger at the homeowner and tell him to stay right there? And the homeowner buys a gun not because the burglar has one, but because SOMEBODY IS FUCKING BREAKING INTO THEIR HOUSE! They would rather the burglar be unarmed, believe me.
