Only way to stop someone with a gun is with another gun.

Yeah I'm seeing the "There's barely any mass shootings stopped by guns" meme types making the rounds and I'm just thinking, this is retarded.

Sure we can make an argument that less guns floating around could potentially lead to less rampage killings in total, but your argument is that good guys with guns don't stop bad guys with guns? I guess when you consider the cops to be the bad guys. Literally every mass shooting ends when someone else with a gun either shoots or otherwise gets the guy to surrender.

Not strictly true. Very rarely, attackers with guns are subdued by unarmed people. And hats off to heroes who manage to pull that off. But it's sure a lot easier if you have a gun too.
