Assuming the kill switch is competently used, would you rather than happen or be shot by a SWAT team?

They're going to shoot you anyway, because they won't assume the gun you're allegedly holding has been disabled.
That's the big IF: competently used.
You have to deal with that when you fail to avoid behavior that interests law enforcement no matter what.

IMO, a kill switch seems like a mild Pareto improvement to me.
