If a significant percentage of folks were armed, it would simply be a matter of time until two of them shot each other instead of the bad guy, leaving him better armed and more motivated.
You guys think that arming folks will make the world idiot-proof. I'm here to say that as soon as you do that, someone will build a better idiot. As MSD said, there's no predicting spree killers. Better armed citizens might lead to few dead or it might lead to more better armed citizens dead when they shoot each other by mistake. If Navy SEALS and Army Rangers kill each other in friendly fire, it can certainly happen if I happen to be the one packing when the bad guy opens up on the nuns and orphans.
Just sayin...
