The FBI has helped to disrupt or prevent nearly 150 shootings and violent attacks this year, in part by steering potential gunmen toward mental health professionals.
There have been hundreds of these disruptions since 2011, Attorney General Eric Holder told an audience of police chiefs in October, touting the behind-the-scenes work of a small FBI unit based out of Quantico, Va. In most cases, the FBI has helped potential offenders get access to mental health care.

We would have done even better if we could have taken away everybody's guns ... and if we could have carried on with Operation Fast and Furious.

I wish they’d send Holder to a mental institute.

in part by steering potential gunmen toward mental health professionals. So... you tell a person to seek help... and you claim to have prevented that person from going postal?
Then you further claim that you prevented a mass shooting?
What was that movie with the miniature actor who could stop crimes before they were committed... now Holder and his pals has that capability?
The whole administration is laughable. And we're laughed at.

FBI prevented 148 mass shootings in 2013 So they took the guns from only 148 FBI and ATF Fast and Furious agents?

It seems he's talking about potential shootings, by people of questionable mental health. Did they just ride up on a white horse and say "You're not mentally fit to own your gun. Here's the number for a good psychiatrist"? There, another shooting prevented.

They were all FBI and ATF staff. This was supposed to be an internal affairs discussion. With a little spin, it was made useful.
At least that's what I'm telling my dog so he feels a little safer tonight.

Were all of the “stopped” mass murderers in Chicago—his home town.
This is, IMO, BS.

As long as we’re making unprovable claims: armed citizens stopped a million billion zillion violent attacks last year.

Yeah, I believe this.
The FBI didn't have a clue about the Tsarnev brothers, AFTER being warned about them by Russia.
