Isn't "crime, done with the involvement of a firearm" also often more harshly punished than the plain crime itself? If a burglar is targeting empty houses, this would give them a strong incentive to
not
bring a firearm, just in case they get caught.
As the saying goes, only break
one
law at a time!

I thought robbery required a victim person be present.
