    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.
