Who arms criminals with guns? Why, gun owners and gun sellers, of course. Nobody else.
Thieves arm criminals of course.

Assisted by gun owners. Definitely not assisted by those who don't own guns.

The Newtown shooter was armed by his mother. The Aurora shooter was armed by gun sellers. The Columbine shooters were armed by gun owners. All criminals who have guns get their guns through a path which originates from gun sellers or gun sellers to gun owners.

What's worse, virtually every one of those gun owners who gave up their guns to criminals go out buy more guns. Thus the escalation of guns to 300 million guns in this country, which is the problem.

Irresponsibility of gun owners and gun sellers are the reason for the arming of criminals.
I'm certainly glad that we have felony level statutes to prevent the provisioning of guns to criminals by law-abiding citizens. 

Thus it would seem pretty clear - criminals arm criminals.

Oh really? Where did the criminals who are arming all the criminals get the guns?
It is not accurate to say that a victim of a burglary is in any way "assisting" a thief. By that logic all stealing is a partnership and the victim should also be jailed. As far as there being 300 million guns , I see no problem at all with that. 

A person like say Treyvon Martin could not legally own a gun as he has proven himself to be a drug user. It says right on the form for a CCW that if you smoke pot you are not a legal carrier. The bat-shit crazy people you mention above should not even be allowed to walk the streets. Fortunately, I don't have to worry much about that.
