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.

He killed two and would have killed more if not for the civilian who stopped him...

Logic would tell you that no one can stop a mass shooting before it begins because you don't know it's going to happen until the shooter starts shooting...
I know... Logic has no place in these discussions...
