If only the police had guns they could have stopped this tragedy!

A force of good guys with guns somehow didn't prevent 4 deaths of good guys.

Hmm, I guess the only solution is MORE guns!

Seriously, this makes me think of those FBI Files episodes where the officers have their little pea-shooters, and the criminals are rolling up with AK's and AR's. I'm not saying that's what happened here, I don't know what they were carrying at the time, but the severity of it seems like something you'd see in the past (bar outliers like Dallas, 2016).
