Twice as many mass shooting events end with Good Guy's hands than good guys with guns.
Any thoughts on that?
Can we get this part of the article stapled to CFs front door?Twice as many mass shooting events end with Good Guy's hands than good guys with guns.Any thoughts on that?
After our real-life experience, related above, I am more convinced than ever. I could also mention that we know several people who committed suicide with guns. My husband had two IT employees, one going through a divorce, one suffering from depression, who shot themselves to death. My son had a high school acquaintance who shot himself because he didn't get an A and a girl refused to go to the Valentine dance. (I later learned from his neighbor that an older brother had also shot himself.) Friend's brother-in-law...so many needless deaths.I noticed that the Left-Wing biased source in the OP didn't provide a link to this purported analysis.
Your anecdotal accounts don't help me with reviewing the data.After our real-life experience, related above, I am more convinced than ever.

A water aerobics buddy had a drug-addicted son who shot and killed his estranged wife and then himself. Nephews had friends who were killed by hunters who didn't see them in their camouflage gear.
Son had a promising high school student who kept up with him. He joined the Marines. Got PTSD. Committed suicide.
I never met anyone who saved themselves (or anyone else) with a gun.
I suspect that this is what you are looking for.Your anecdotal accounts don't help me with reviewing the data.
That doesn't look like data to me.I suspect that this is what you are looking for.
It might also interest people to know about the research organization: "The Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) Center at Texas State University was created in 2002 as a partnership between Texas State University, the San Marcos, Texas Police Department and the Hays County, Texas Sheriff’s Office to address the need for active shooter response training for first responders. In 2013, ALERRT at Texas State was named the National Standard in Active Shooter Response Training by the FBI."
I'm not interested in going on a wild goose chase, to do the Slate's, nor the OP's homework, to support their claims, with assertions from a .org, at a Liberal college.Did you click the "All Active Attacks" tab at the top? You might also be interested in the "Event List" tab, though you'll need to follow the links for the attacks from each year.
I gave the link to the website, I thought people would be smart enough to find the information on those pages that they might be interested in, and if they wanted the cumulative data or to read about each attack separately.
I'm curious, what is it that makes Texas State University liberal? Is it the fact that they allow students and professors, who have a permit, to carry guns on campus? I'm guessing the San Marcos Police Department and the Hays County Sheriff's Office are also extreme liberals? Texas State University is not a liberal university and I'd be shocked if you found many (if any) liberals in that police department and sheriff's office.I'm not interested in going on a wild goose chase, to do the Slate's, nor the OP's homework, to support their claims, with assertions from a .org, at a Liberal college.
I can come up with my own skewed data to support my own bias.
I see now that I had Texas State University (TXST) confused with The University of Texas at Austin (UT).I'm curious, what is it that makes Texas State University liberal?
Or maybe it has nothing to do with your false allegations, and it's just like I said.Maybe you decided that a logical fallacy was easier than to actually examine their data (which is on the linked webpage).
The vast majority of mass shootings happen in 'gun free' zones where only the shooter brings in a weapon.Twice as many mass shooting events end with Good Guy's hands than good guys with guns.Any thoughts on that?

There is the source.These are figures the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center at Texas State University puts together, working alongside the FBI.
Didn't read the studyThe vast majority of mass shootings happen in 'gun free' zones where only the shooter brings in a weapon.
Gun owners who are lawful do not. - That is a major reason why good guys with hands best good guys with guns, that is all they have.
That is not even considered in the study - I wonder why?
Please correct me and show where the study showed how many of the shootings were in gun free zones.I am utterly confounded by the critical response to this article.
Running away from data provided repeating burden of proof; As though what is commonly provided on chriatian forums gets any kind of citation....
For example:
Didn't read the study
Didn't cite own sources.
Bur kudos b2cause at Least he was willing to address the content od the study.
The OP asked:Twice as many mass shooting events end with Good Guy's hands than good guys with guns.Any thoughts on that?
it is a legitimate observation and question.The vast majority of mass shootings happen in 'gun free' zones where only the shooter brings in a weapon.
Gun owners who are lawful do not. - That is a major reason why good guys with hands best good guys with guns, that is all they have.

I have carried since 1980 when I turned 21 and was assigned to the DOD. in 42 years of gun ownership, my weapon has killed exactly no one. I was fortunate to not have the need to draw it except five times on duty and three times through the years since. In those three times a rape was stopped, and two violent assaults were ended.Yet many of us enjoy reading and learning about others' experiences. I know I do.
