That's where you went wrong.
If you see someone who's clearly clinically insane, it's usually a bad idea to walk closer to them.
Those people are the exact reason why America needs stricter gun control laws.
Oh, and don't give me that guns don't kill people, people kill people bull.
Providing firearm access to those who lack the professionalism to handle it is no different than committing a murder.
Guns don't kill people, true. You can't cuff up a pistol and put it on trial.
It's the people who are behind the guns that are responsible.
Yet, understanding the inherent hypocrisy of the situation, we still think it's right to distribute firearms to the unfit.
It's the people who lobby for the blatant, undiscriminated distribution of firearms that should be held responsible for situation like these.

Amen to that.

I expect what would happen is an increase in break ins and probably a lot of other crime overall, please tell me how it could possibly be a good idea?

They're easy to acquire illegally because unregistered, yet legally acquired firearms are widespread.
You can be underage, mentally unstable, and still be able to purchase a gun at most gun fairs.
Gun ownership does not provide a statistical significant in crime deterrence. Anyone that tells you otherwise is spreading unhealthy propaganda to further their own interest.
