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.
