The problem is not the "meth-addicted juvenile" about to steal things to feed his habit - it is that the juvenile has become a meth-addict, and having guns or not having guns will not solve that problem. What it does is give gun owners a panacea to pat themselves over the head about being a good citizen able to render justice in the Great American Way rather than deal with the actual problem.
Guns don't solve problems, people solve problems.
