The problem is that if you stop a mass shooting, how do you know there would have been a mass shooting had you not stopped it?

Awfully hard to prove a negative.

If you actually read the cases provided and also if you look at the links for documentation, you will see that they don’t pick cases whenever a shooting has been stopped. These cases involve instances where the police or other experts or the attackers themselves have said that there would very likely have been a much higher body count if the permit holder hadn’t been there to help.

No, the problem is rampant social engineering perpetrated by effete ideologues who never wander beyond the glass walls of their echo chambers.

You are sitting in a restaurant and a guy/girl comes in swinging a AK-47 and yelling Ally Ackbar!

Use your judgment.
