Shoot-out in Stockton CA, and the official NRA position

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-bank-robbery-three-dead-gunbattle-20140717-story.html

This is in LBN also. To me, it's obvious from the story that the criminals had no regard for human life. The NRA says "arm more good guys with guns to stop the bad guys with guns". I admit, I'm no law enforcement or gun expert, but my thinking is, IF everyone in that bank was armed, the criminals would have simply entered immediately shooting everyone dead and then robbing it with explosives etc.

Your thoughts ? Obviously I back gun control efforts.
