Re "The number of mass shootings stopped by armed civilians in the last three decades is zero":
You might be being fooled by this statistic. Think about it: a mass shooting is defined by "Four or more people are actually killed, not including the perpetrator". Now imagine: a would-be "mass shooter" walks into a shopping mall and kills one, two or three people. At that point an armed civilian takes action and the murderer is stopped in his tracks. As four or more people were not killed in this imagined incident it will *not* be classified as a "mass-shooting event"! But it would have been if the have-a-go hero hadn't been there. Neat, huh? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote :
