What you describe as no gun control, which I assume is the 2nd Amendment and in many states is far, far away from no gun control, is specifically set up to allow citizens to defend themselves from the exact type of organized gang the police have set up. The citizens need guns to protect themselves from the police first and foremost. If Americans didn't have guns, we'd be in a police state much worse than anyone can imagine and the police and government would kill and hurt way more people than they currently do. We would not be in a state similar to many European democracies that have strict gun control but in a state of constant persecution. So yes, if you want to put it that way, things are the way they are because of loose gun control laws. But the way things are is a billion times better than what it would be if we were subjected to the tyranny of police and government without the deterrent of guns. In other words, we only exist as a pseudo free society because of guns and removing them will remove any semblance of freedom there is left. Either that or we go for full on gun control where police and law enforcement organizations in general don't carry guns either, but I simply don't see that as a realistic solution given police and government attitudes and inclination to serve themselves at the expense of the people.
