“Armed and unarmed citizens engaged the shooter [during the 2016-2017 time frame] in 10 incidents. They safely and successfully ended the shootings in eight of those incidents. Their selfless actions likely saved many lives."
“The enhanced threat posed by active shooters and the swiftness with which active shooter incidents unfold support the importance of preparation by law enforcement officers and citizens alike.”

According to the recent FBI report, out of 50 active shooters, 13 shooters committed suicide, 11 shooters were killed by police, 8 shooters were stopped by citizens, 18 shooters were apprehended by police. Citizens stopped almost just as many active shoters as law enforcement. Who knows how many more lives would have been saved if in all of these cases, citizens were allowed to carry firearms.
