i think is bad to give at the population the carring weapons

You're completely wrong - an armed population is actually safer. Look at Switzerland where nearly every household has military weapons, yet they have one of the lowest crime rates in the world. Criminals don't target people who might shoot back.Americans use guns defensively around 1.67 million times per year [1] - that's more than all reported violent crimes combined. Defensive gun use is more common than crime [1]. The data destroys your argument completely.
When law-abiding citizens carry guns, criminals think twice. Most defensive uses don't even require firing - just showing the weapon stops the threat 82% of the time. That's 1.4 million crimes prevented annually just by citizens being prepared to defend themselves.

That's exactly backwards - more guns in tense situations actually prevent violence. When both people know someone might be armed, they de-escalate fast instead of letting anger boil over.
States that increased concealed carry permits saw higher gun homicides [1], and shall-issue laws led to 10.6% higher handgun homicide rates [2]. Your peaceful theory crumbles when people can grab lethal force in the heat of the moment.
Look at domestic disputes - they turn deadly when guns are available. A shoving match becomes a shooting. Road rage becomes murder. The weapon doesn't calm people down, it gives them the power to make permanent decisions during temporary emotions.
Switzerland works because of mandatory military training and strict storage laws. American concealed carry has none of that discipline - just angry people with loaded guns in their pockets.
