I'm convinced the town I work in is full of crazy people.

In the netherlands the chance of being harmed by an armed burglar is close to zero, and once we start legalizing guns, that chance will go up tremendously.......irrespective of the fact if I can defend myself.

Is that based on the criminals having access to weapons? Can they not smuggle them in by car from other parts of Europe?

No it is about the fact that normal people will have access to weapons.
As I explained before the result of normal people having guns will be that petty criminals will also start carrying guns everywhere.

Nowadays burglars don't need to and don't bring guns, they just try and make sure nobody is home.
