No, it's not entrapment. Not sure why this is such a hard concept to understand. If any charges are dropped, it'd be for an entirely different reason. But the entrapment defense would not work here.
Entrapment requires coercsion or persuasion. They were clearly willing and ready to commit the crime. So a decent defense attorney wouldn't use the entrapment defense, unless they wanted a good laugh from the judge and prosecution on their lack of understanding of entrapment.
