Study: Concealed carry firearms owners have a 94% success rate stopping potential mass shooters
The National Sentinel ^ | 11/27/18 | USA Features

Facts: A new study of FBI data found just the opposite. A report by Jacob Paulsen at ConcealedCarry.com found that in 94 percent of cases, armed citizens successfully intervene during what the bureau calls “active shooter events,” which is defined by the FBI as, “One or more individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area.”

Paulsen notes that the FBI has published three reports that detail active shooter events between 2000 and 2017. The first covers event between 2000-2013; the second from 2014-2015; and the third from 2016-2017.

“They manually search for and include [these events] in their reports the same way anyone else might Google it which of course means there is room for error particularly in missing events that should have been included,” Paulsen writes. He notes further that the FBI does not include domestic shooting incidents or gang-related shootings in its reports.

“....Dems.....pay attention....unless you want arms in the hands of criminals only.....”
That’s exactly what the RATs want: arms in the “hands of criminals” because that is what most RATs are: criminals.

You seemed to have missed the stupid Dem statement about how if guns are outlawed, bad guys won’t have guns. Ignorance is bad enough. Willful stupidity goes beyond the Pale.

Indeed. And if we outlaw outlaws, we won’t have outlaws.

But the Dems want citizens disarmed in certain areas as to help create their media and legislative shows.

That's a good example of thinking like a gun grabber.

If the demonRats aren’t currently a criminal; they identify as one so they will be soon enough.

Most mass shooters are dems. The dems don’t want you to shoot them before they get enough carnage at which time they will either kill themselves or do suicide by cop.

Yes, but what kind of success rate does “Gun Free Zone” signs have?

The one in the grey coat is David Hogg and the one in the red t shirt is Emma Gonzalez.
