That's not inversely proportional. Inversely proportional would mean More Guns - Less Murders. What you state is directly proportional.
Anyway, I don't know first if what you say is true. I assume studies have been done to show this is true and that it is not true.
I also sort of believe in mutually assured destruction. Supposedly the US has so many nukes to keep others from nuking us. If you are going to mug or rob someone and you know they can't have a gun but you being a criminal have a gun you are more likley. But, if you think that Pop at the store has a shotgun under the counter you might think twice about robbing him.
