(Posted before Newtown, CT incident.)
The average number of people killed in mass shootings when stopped by police is 14.3
The average number of people killed in a mass shooting when stopped by a civilian is 2.3.
Factual anecdotal correlation with recent incidents (within the last 2 weeks):
Newtown, CT; Wait for police; when they finally enter, shooter suicides; Death toll = 26
Clackamas, OR: CCW citizen holder immediately intervenes; shooter sees CCW and suicides; death toll = 3
This bears out the statistics irrefutably.
This fact needs to be impressed strongly on media and Congress-critters re uselessness of "gun control" legislation
Note that Adam Lanza approached this with an evil but logical plan:
- Gun-free zone
- Familiar with building from childhood attendance
- Pre-planned checkout with the office
- Populated with defenseless individuals
- No instantly activated alarm for police (for fire?)
- Incident probably a consequence of benzodiazepine-exacerbated depressive/suicidal/raging mental state
We need to especially protect defenseless individuals by eliminating "gun-free" zones and assuring the presence of trained, responsible adults as a reaction force.
A leavening of undiscernable CCW-permitted population makes perpetrator avoid zones where his vulnerability is prevously undetermined.
IMHO
“Gun Free Zone” is just another way of saying “Target Rich Environment”
