You know all cars are part of a "legal pool" as well --- until they are stolen.

And if the rate of "leakage" from that pool, i.e. theft, remains constant, then more legally owned cars out there means more stolen cars out there. But then, many stolen cars are chopped...
A number of stolen cars are used in other crimes, are involved in drunk-driving accidents, or cause havoc due to joy rides. Based on your philosophy we should simply reduce the population of legal cars in order to reduce these problems. As you are pushing the same type of solution for guns.
Now you're just in this for the workout, lol. But yes, I do think we have a gun proliferation problem. But then, from an ecological perspective, we definitely have a car proliferation problem, too.
This is the truth. The main reason we do not have sensible gun laws is because the nra uses its political influence to stop any gun laws that would keep guns off of the street and out of criminal hands. And of course the reason why they do this because the nra is funded by gun manufacturers who profit from gun sales. The fun manufacturers profit from the flow from lawful to unlawful gun ownership.
But do not kid yourselves. Almost every gun on the street and illegally possessed represents a profit for gun manufacturers.
What’s even more awesome for them is the fear cycle of more guns on the street means legal gun owners need to buy more guns to “protect themselves.” Hence the slogan the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
With guns everywhere there’s money pouring into the gun manufacturers and into the nra while we get crime, mass shootings and fear.
The NRA is evil.
Automobiles are well regulated. I don’t think anyone would say our general laws and policies haven’t reduced the overall impact on public safety. Probably could do more but things like seatbealts, licenses, registrations, drinking driving laws etc have reduced risks associated with cars.
So we should not have law enforcement do anything about illegal stolen cars; just spend the time reducing the overall pool of cars and then the entire problem will disappear. Likewise with guns -- we should just reduce to overall pool of guns and surely the problem of crimes committed with illegal guns will surely disappear. OK... got it. And think of how much money we can save on law & traffic enforcement.
