Theoretically, if a person owns only one gun and shoots said firearm at you, your risk of getting hit is at a certain level, with several factors coming into play: ability, aim, recoil, number of rounds in the clip, etc.
If that same person buys a second gun and uses it at the same time, technically your risk of getting hit now doubles - twice as many rounds coming at you.
But you're right, it doesn't compute - that additional risk would be negated by the reduced accuracy without a stabilizing hand, fatigue in the non-dominant hand, core muscles trying to move in opposite directions, etc. - unless you're John Wick, maybe.
Of course, if the vast, vast majority of the population never gives a gun owner a reason to want to discharge the weapon, the risk to them becomes nil, regardless of the number of owned weapons.
