Professional people who are formally trained to use guns in situations involving other people who have guns.

It's both funny and sad that you think that being a SWAT member boils down to "here is a gun".

Well they not only have a gun. They have something far more important: body armor. Even a completely untrained SWAT member is going to be more successfull than a random citizen with a gun.

Even a SWAT member without body armor is way more effective than a random dude with a gun.
