Actually it depends on the person. If we're dealing with a psychopath, then of course not, though I think even they would think twice before risking death just because they got a little greedy.

If there's a greater possibility of them dying in the process, then they would think twice about it. I highly doubt that their desire for money would cloud their judgement to that extent.
They have resorted to crime of this magnitude for whatever reason. They are preparing for the higher risk by becoming more dangerous in combat. You're going to rob this place for whatever reason, you've chosen that location specifically so you know the risks, and therefore go in prepared. As soon as you pick up a gun with malicious intent you are risking death.

And if the criminals were to wield lareger, more powerful weapons, the chances of them being caught before they get a chance to commit the crime would increase drammatically.
Not when everyone else is carrying them as well. Still, if you are going out with obvious weapons and the intent to use them, you aren't going to go down without a fight. The undertaker buys a boat.

:
What's more, in a country where all citizens are allowed to wield firearms, I imagine that there'd be more law enforcement officials at every corner as a precautionary measure.
With more devastating weapons to keep one rung up, setting the bar for the real criminals to compete against even higher. The cycle continues.
