Massive errors in FBI’s Active Shooting Reports regarding cases where civilians stop attacks: Instead of 4.4%, the correct number is at least 34.4%. In 2021, it is at least 49.1%. Excluding gun-free zones, it averaged over 50%. Oct 3, 2022 | Defensive Gun Use, Original Research

Introduction

The shooting that killed three people and injured another at a Greenwood, Indiana, mall on July 17 drew broad national attention because of how it ended – when 22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken, carrying a licensed handgun, fatally shot the attacker.

While Dicken was praised for his courage and skill – squeezing off his first shot 15 seconds after the attack began, from a distance of 40 yards – much of the immediate news coverage drew from FBI-approved statistics to assert that armed citizens almost never stop such attackers: “Rare in US for an active shooter to be stopped by bystander” (Associated Press); “Rampage in Indiana a rare instance of armed civilian ending mass shooting” (Washington Post); and “After Indiana mall shooting, one hero but no lasting solution to gun violence” (New York Times).

“The media and gun control advocates always seem concerned with the worst possible outcomes when firearms are involved. We know that armed citizens do, in fact, stop active shooters. And while there’s a possibility of a bystander getting hurt, the data put together by the CPRC show that an armed citizen has yet to accidentally shoot an innocent bystander. We also know that the police have accidentally shot the hero citizen just once. That was in Colorado on June 21, 2021. That’s not something that would normally happen, because the police usually arrive long after the incident is resolved.“

Good guys with guns stopping bad guys with guns are all sorted by the algorithm to say “Cause of death Covid.”

Something done on purpose and achieves one’s goal is by definition not an “error.”

FBI soi bois will never admit that ordinary, armed Americans prevent more crime than the idiot federal bureaucrats in DC.

Always remember that recruits to the FBI academy must pass a physical fitness test that requires recruits to do one pushup in less than one month or longer.

just like the vote cheating, it always goes in one direction: the error favors the liberals

“Errors” or lies?

The FIB would know what that is.

Socialist politics is all that drives the FBI these days, they don’t care about anything else.

Not errors.

[Lurker]

Errors are done unintentionally.

These are outright lies.

The FBI lying? Can’t be. Must be another one of those common mistakes that the FBI seems to make every other day now. We’re just lucky FBI agents are not air traffic controllers.

The truth means nothing to the Washington Post, NY Times, and AP.

The same for the corrupt FBI officials who cook the stats.
