My point is that banning high-tech guns (which can shoot with high precision) would disable the people who can potentially stop a mass shooting much more than potential mass shooters. To injure a mass shooter before he kills many people, you need to shoot very quickly and with high precision. That's way easier to do with high-tech guns than with regular guns. And mass shooting can just as easily be done with a regular gun.

Given the number of privately held firearm in the US, it seems reasonable that at least some of those are the ‘high-tech/precision’ guns you’re talking about. It also seems reasonable that a percentage of those weapons are in the hands of people trained to use them (a gun - no matter how high tech - in the hands of someone untrained in its use is little better than a club).

That being the case, why aren’t more mass shooters being stopped by armed civilians?
