Tons of crime occurs in non-gun free zones as well. Just because gun-free zones aren't 100% perfect doesn't mean they actually attract crime. Your arguement is just nonsense and has no evidence to back it up.
Anyways, people with "I am a gun owner signs" on their front lawn are much worse off than those with "gun free signs." What happens is the criminal sees that the person owns guns, and its easier to target them. He waits for him to leave his home, and then takes all of the guns. Want to become a black market supplier of guns, well then put up one of those signs.
I wouldn't go as far as to say an unarmed citizenry is a powerful attractent for tyrants. It obviously would be a factor, but if it is "powerful" like you say, then why hasn't totalitarian and authoratians regimes popped up after strict gun control has been implimented.
