Gun deaths won't convince NRA-types of need for gun control, for they consider gun deaths an acceptable cost of 2nd amend. Better to show 2nd amend is obsolete, with 2 arguments - US govt is not hostile to its citizens. - If it was hostile to its citizens, guns wouldn't stop it.
The point is that any civilian militia would be decimated by the US military. Sure, some may survive to carry out a low-level insurgency, but what the govt wanted the govt would take, and an armed militia would not be able to stop it.

Would they have better odds with or without being armed?

Without being armed, because they'd be considered less of a threat, and so wouldn't be annihilated in a preemptive strike.
