Naomi, yeah, you haven't devolved into a dystopia in 20 years. Give it time. History will repeat itself.
A mass shooter wouldn't know what parishioners are armed until it was too late for him. And if I were a parishioner, I'd rather die shooting and drawing his fire, giving everyone else more time than live unarmed and unable to do anything. As well, the more there are armed, the more likely you will have someone in a place where they can stop the shooter.
If the neighbor sees who's coming out of the church, he doesn't have to fire. Your hypothetical implies that the instinct is to just shoot at anyone with a gun. That's wrong. A normal person's instinct is to hesitate. And, yes, the instinct to hesitate will occur on the other side too. Certainly the driver of the truck the hero got into while holding his AR-15 didn't get attacked right off the bat, even though that driver wasn't sure what was going on.

Naomi, mass shootings account for (literally, I did the math) 0.005% of annual deaths. Our gun deaths are on a decline. And, yes, those nations have been around for a long time, but outside of Japan, weapons restrictions are new. Feudal Japan disarmed the populace because they feared the people. The people found it so necessary to have instruments of war that they trained using what they had, namely farm tools: nunchaku (crop thresher), kama (sickle used to cut up bundles of plants), bo (stick), tonfa (mill handle), and others.
When your government oversteps its bounds, and it eventually will, then you will learn why keeping your arms and not allowing your government to track what arms you own, is very important.

Sheldon, it follows that the higher the level of danger of participating in a criminal act, the less likely that criminal act tends to occur. This is why police patrol instead of sitting at HQ waiting for a call. It's been proven that presence is the first step in deterring crime. That can be expanded to include any presence that creates a risky environment within which for the crime to occur, including video surveillance, alarm systems, locks, and more up to and including at least one person at the location being armed, with the more who are armed, the more cameras there are, the more alarm systems there are, the more locks there are, etc. the higher the risk to the criminal.
