A new report from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) argues that the FBI's data contains "massive errors" when tracking active shooting incidents, undercounting how often armed citizens have thwarted active-shooting situations over the last eight years.
"Although collecting such data is fraught with challenges, some see a pattern of distortion in the FBI numbers because the errors almost exclusively go one way, minimizing the life-saving actions of armed citizens," the report, which was provided to Fox News Digital this week by Crime Prevention Research Center founder and president John Lott, states.

Is anyone surprised?

The FBI is the enemy of the American people. Not just half of Americans. ALL Americans.
Nope.
Gee, I wonder who was in office 8 years ago and what sort of scum was scurrying around stuffing their creatures into to all sorts of slots in fibbie departments? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
The Gaystapo don’t want Karen Q Citizen thinking that John Q. Public is doing the jobs they are supposed to be doing.
The FEDERAL Bureau of Investigation has become the DEMOCRAT Bureau of Investigation. It puts out fake reports with fake statistics depending on what agenda the democrats are pushing. Of course, the democrats take their marching orders from the media moguls who pull the strings.
The FBI are this nation’s Stasi. It is hoped that our next president will purge its ranks.
So of course they will minimize it.
I wonder if there are any published statistics where an active shooting incident included an NRA member as the active shooter? Bet it’s a very low number if not zero.
About seven class members raised their hands.
The instructor asked if any had ever used their weapons in defensive uses. Three from among the class raised their hands, and each was asked to describe the event.
First, and most memorable, was a veterinarian who was called to a night house call. When he arrived, some guys with knives and clubs (IIRC from the account) got out of a truck and demanded his narcotics (vets prescribe some narcs). He withdrew his pistol, the bad guys fled, that was that.
The other two were separate incidents while hiking/camping in the Sierra range and foothills. In both cases, showing the piece was sufficient, no shots fired, happy conclusion.
The instructor asked if any reported the actions, and none had. They did not want the hassle or the paperwork (or a potential lawsuit? I forget.)
More recently, a friend relayed a story to me about how he stopped a home invasion in his house with a shotgun he kept near his bedside. He got the "drop" on them then called the police, the perps were illegal aliens and they were all armed before being disarmed. No shots fired. (They were released on bail, skipped, never heard from again.)
After hearing these accounts, I personally have wondered just how many holdups, home invasions and even carjackings have been thwarted by displaying a piece, and then never reported.
I’ve had one such experience. It’s the only time I ever drew my weapon. Just seeing it made Mr Hothead stop and get back in his car.
No, I didn’t report it.

Gaystapo Fudge packing crooks gone wild. No law and order for you because we say so. Horse biscuits. The federal government is public enemy number one.
John Lott is a national treasure.
I wish he was still a FReeper.
MATH DOES MATTER
Oh no, say it ain’t so…
The number one gun "crime" in New Jersey is carrying or possessing one without the permission of the almighty state.
