I'm not advocating a citizen go all 'batman' and engage, but this statement is not exactly accurate. Had the police had access to a true 'high powered' rifle initially, the death count would have likely been much lower than 19, and hopefully closer to 2... the 2 bad guys only.

Bad example. Pure speculation to say what "could have happened". Besides, those guys were shot with everything from high powered rifles to handguns and kept right on going. An armed citizen trying to play batman would have simply increased the innocent killed count to 19.
