So it was the good guy not the gun? I guess it's only the gun when a bad guy uses one to mass murder.

Good guy with a gun saves the day again, this time, killing a robber who held a knife to the throat of a Missouri gas station clerk: 'I don't think I honestly had a choice'
Another "Good Samaritan" with a gun saved the day again, this time, shooting and killing a man who was holding a gas station attendant at knife point.Last Saturday, the concealed carrier pulled up to a QuikTrip service station in St. Charles, Missouri, about a half-hour outside St. Louis, and...

Your stating that the good guy with a gun is a myth, but admit it happens ? Anytime a law abiding citizen defends themself with a firearm against someone with criminal intent they are the good guy and that happens way more than 10 times.
CDC Admission: Guns Used Far More Often in Self-Defense Than Crime
Firearms are used for defensive purposes between 500,000 and 3 million times every single year in the United States. In comparison, firearms were used to commit violent crime 300,000 times as of 2008. If your reflexive reaction to reading that data is that it must rely upon exaggerated estimates...

No...I'm stating that the slogan "the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" is wrong." The average citizen with a gun stopping a marauder happens rarely.Your stating that the good guy with a gun is a myth, but admit it happens ?

No, the problem is that we don't have strict enough penalties against people using a gun in crime. That's why armed citizens are so valuable; there isn't much more of a deterrent to commit a crime than death.

Perhaps, but the police chief himself hailed the armed citizen as a hero. Think how many he might have killed if no armed citizen was there to stop him. In the article I read (not the OP) it stated he brought several magazines with him. He was planning on a blood bath, but not planning on an armed citizen being one of his targets.

The gun doesn't make anybody good or bad, their actions do. He was a bad guy with a gun based on how he planned on using it. The armed citizen is the good guy with a gun because he took out the bad guy.

Correct, but I always heed the words of the late Rush Limbaugh: Folks, you can't convince anybody that they are wrong. They have to come to that conclusion themselves. All you can do is give them the information to make that conclusion.
God rest his soul and what he did for this country.

They posted the story in my local news. The difference is that his story will be a one day event. President Dementia will never comment on it because he can't use this story to promote his party's anti-gun agenda. Unless asked by a Fox reporter, he won't even bring it up.
You're FOS.
I can't make you pay attention.
By lying to them?

Hope he's rotting in hell.
Armed civilians aren't present at EVERY shooting, and @99+% of those "300 million guns" aren't "on the street", but at homes, often in cabinets or gun safes.
As it is, and from one of the linked articles;
...
There were at least 434 active shooter attacks in the US from 2000 to 2021, according to the ALERRT data. Active shooter attacks were defined as those in which one or more shooters killed or attempted to kill multiple unrelated people in a populated place.
Of those 434 active shooter cases, an armed bystander shot the attacker in 22 of the incidents. In 10 of those, the "good guy" was a security guard or an off-duty police officer, the ALERRT data said.

BELLEVUE, WA – -(Ammoland.com)- A newly-released FBI report on “active shooter incidents” in 2021 [embeded below] revealed four of those killers were stopped by armed private citizens, and the Second Amendment Foundation says this is strong evidence the right to keep and bear arms is as important today as it was when the Constitution was ratified more than 200 years ago.
There were 61 active shooter incidents last year, the FBI report said. All but one of the killers were males, and ranged in age from 12 to 67 years. SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb lauded the FBI report for acknowledging the role played by legally-armed citizens in stopping some of these events.

According to the FBI, in addition to the four perpetrators killed by armed citizens, 30 of these violent thugs were apprehended by law enforcement, and 14 were killed by police officers. One was killed in a vehicle accident during a law enforcement pursuit, 11 others committed suicide, and one remains at large, the report notes. In 2020, the FBI report noted, citizen first responders killed two criminals in the act.
They killed a total of TWO.

Studies routinely indicate that every year, Americans use their firearms in defense of themselves or others between 500,000 and 2 million times.
Without a robustly protected right to keep and bear arms, the Americans in these cases would have been left to the mercy of criminals.
We don’t make law-abiding citizens safer by disarming them or making them less capable of fighting back against criminals. We only make them easier targets.

Last month, we documented some extraordinary examples from January of armed citizens relying on their Second Amendment rights to protect themselves and others.
We pointed out that these were average, everyday Americans who were just going about their lives. They did not go looking for evil but were nonetheless prepared to deal with the evil that found them.
February has produced even more evidence that the fundamental right to keep and bear arms is not an anachronism that no longer deserves constitutional protection, but a vital tool safeguarding individual liberty.

In the actual FBI report figure 2 shows that in 2020, 2 shooters were killed by civilians and in 2021, 4 shooters were killed by citizens.
As I read the reports on the incidents I only find 2 killed by civilians in 2021.
Still two incidents means armed civilians can stop mass shootings.
Then I found a different article that said 6 shooters were stopped by civilians in 2021
