This reminds me of another piece I read recently, making the related point that when the NRA et al talk about using guns to resist tyranny this is exactly the kind of endgame they're talking about. Except that these aren't the kind of conservative, religious, and above all white insurgents they had in mind.

It probably also makes them uncomfortable that their "best defense against a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" thing didn't work out. There were plenty of good guys - trained professionals - with guns on scene. They decided to send in a robot, because when everybody has guns the advantage goes to the crazy ones who want more death. Pro-gun advocates' lack of consistency in the wake of this tragedy has been rather glaring.
