The armed civilian who used his assault rifle to stop Sunday’s mass murder of 26 Texas churchgoers has been hailed, rightly, as a hero, but Stephen Willeford is hardly unique. A number of armed American citizens have also used their firearms to stop or limit mass killings.

“If having more guns in society worked to deter shootings, then America would have the lowest rate of gun violence of any developed country,” Avery Gardiner, the co-president of the Brady Campaign, said in a statement provided to Fox News.
The U.S. has a low murder rate, in the overall scheme of things, if you include *all* countries.
To get that list they have to exclude countries with high murder rates, such as Mexico, Jamaica, South Africa, Venezuela, Brazil and Russia.
Also notice the verbal trick of looking only at “gun violence” another Orwellian phrase designed to mislead.
“gun violence” includes disparate items unconnected with each other, such as suicide, homicide and accidents. The only common factor is guns. They are all lumped together to foster the agenda of banning guns.
Remember these five words: murderers don’t obey gun laws.

“a good guy with gun takes down mass shooter”
Let’s look at this more closely.
The “good guy with a gun” will be a conservative, a republican.
The “mass shooter” will be a liberal, a democrat.
It is always the democrats attacking and shooting republicans.
When will we pass common sense democrat control.
They apparently don't care what doesn't work in Chicago.

There is no guarantee a good guy with a gun will prevail against and armed bad guy, but there is a near 100% chance an unarmed good guy won’t overcome an armed bad guy.
I’ll take an armed good guy every chance possible.
As your examples demonstrate it means western European, whereas those eliminated are largely populated by what in the US would be considered minorities. Blacks, Hispanics, Arabs, and the like. If a conservative were to make that suggestion, he be called a racist.
PS, the majority of crime in the US is committed by those same minorities. Could it be a cultural thing? Not hardware?
