The sad thing is so, so many more mass shootings could have been stopped by armed citizens but a lot of them take place in gun free zones in heavy gun control areas. The more you dive into the numbers, the more it becomes clear that an armed society is a polite society. The facts say owning and training to use a firearm is one of the smartest things you can do as an American. And remember, the people who want to take away our guns are the ones who live in mansions, spend millions on armed security, and never have to even dip a pinky toe in the real world. They sit in their ivory towers far far away from crime and reality and tell us how we should live, what we should eat, who we should love, and what we should buy. Remember that next time they tell you to do something or blame you for something.
