Good column looking at the facts around citizens stopping mass public shootings, and why getting rid of gun free zones would prevent these attacks….
The Nashville police chief, who got a look at the murderer’s entire manifesto, noted that the murderer originally targeted another location but decided against that “because of a threat assessment by the suspect of too much security.” The Buffalo mass murderer last year wrote in his manifesto that “areas where [concealed carry weapons] are outlawed or prohibited may be good areas of attack.”
My research shows it’s hard to ignore the enormous amount of mass public shootings that occur in places where guns are banned.
-------------
Instead of 14 of 302 active shooting attacks being stopped, we found that 157 out of 440 were stopped. That’s a rate of 35.7 percent. We found a rate of 41.3 percent for 2022 cases, and that goes up still further to 63.5 percent when gun-free zones are excluded.

Good guys with guns save lives. Don’t believe the hype.
Few of these heroic cases have gotten national news attention.
