You're comparing a fantasy about stopping bank robberies or school shootings with whether someone should be using a handgun to defend themselves in an environment where they're statistically 4x as likely to be violently assaulted?

There's no idealism here. Thats just the way it is. It's a matter of harm reduction, advocating for solutions that cause the least harm. You are advocating for a solution that increases harm. end of.
So you want me to live in a country full of guns where I'm 4x more likely to be assaulted by said guns but not have any good way to protect myself from those guns.
