If we argue that the criminals already have access to rifles and shotguns, so handguns is no big deal, then we can argue that we also have access to the same weapons. So if they can commit a crime with these weapons we can defend ourselves with these weapons, so no need to add handguns to the mix?

By your logic police should carry shotguns and rifles not handguns.
