            Eh just let em keep moving the bar, makes em look silly.

            “That never happens, show me ONE example”

            “Here’s like 50”

            “That isn’t enough, it still isn’t 100% of the time so somehow I’m right, and I’m going to ignore how the shooters target gun free zones to lessen the chance of said armed resistance so gun control actually lowers the rates of ‘good guys with guns,’ and don’t you DARE bring up the fact that Harvard estimated ‘a more realistic’ estimate than Kleck and Lott at 100,000 dgu/yr, which is still a raw 40,000 over our gun deaths and 88,000 over our intentional homicides /yr respectively, and that’s the low estimate. Gun defense bad, knife crime good, i know it doesn’t mean much when you’re getting vivisected but at least he gave us time to run away and leave you for dead!”

      The percentage is incredibly small.

      Out of nearly 560 mass shootings this year, we are looking at something ridiculous like less than 1% was a “good guy with a gun” that helped. And for some of those “good guy with a gun”, they also end up dead from police shooting at them.

      In other words, you’re more likely to hope the shooter is struck by lightning.

        Most of those “mass shootings” are gang violence, and when a shooter gets taken out by another shooter it’s just part of the violence.

        The mass shootings where the point is a massacre have a slightly better rate of “good guys with guns,” but still admittedly not great.

        It’s completely irrelevant though, the point of the right to bear arms is so people can join a radical militia and help put down slave revolts, conquer land from the Indians, and fight tyranny, in the order of importance to the Founding Fathers.

      I doubt more than a tiny percentage of people who carry do so specifically to stop mass shootings
