In fact (thought I mentioned this up-thread, or in another thread): of all the mass shootings that have occurred in the US over the past few years, NONE of them were stopped by a lawfully-carrying citizen defending himself or his community against the shooter.

None.

One shooter was stopped but not until he killed a whole bunch of people in the church, and left the church and tried to run away.

Almost doesn't count.
You really need to do some research. There are many instances that a mass killing was stopped, thwarted, by an armed citizen, and some more that were stopped while that shooting was in progress. A simple search will prove you wrong.............again.
You also have to realize most mass killings are done in "gun free zones" where the "normal" armed citizen obeys the law.
