You obviously didn't see what he was getting at.
I would also like to see how many crimes have been deterred by an armed citizen or how many criminals have decided against committing a crime because the potential victim was visibly armed. Sadly, that's impossible.

From another article:
Quote:In the best published study of mass shootings, it was found that 99 had occurred between 1980 and 2010. We know that a number of mass shootings have been stopped by armed citizens. All but one of the “successful” mass shootings occurred in areas where armed citizens are banned. A comparison of mass shootings stopped by 911 response vs mass shootings stopped by citizens indicates that when citizens are able to stop the killing, they prevent 84 percent of the deaths.

Where do shootings happen most often nowadays? In gun-free zones.
I march against the Asagods
To bring the end of time.
I am pure and endless pain
And Surtr is my name.
See me rise, the mighty Surt,
Destroyer of the universe.
Bringer of flames and endless hurt
Scorcher of men and Earth.
