CDC, FBI Working To Hide Data Showing Shootings Stopped By Good Guys With Guns
The Federalist ^ | 9/4/24 | John Lott

For years, gun control activists have sought to “debunk” the so called “good guy with a gun myth” in an effort to pass more stringent controls on one of our nation’s most cherished liberties. In support of this agenda, the federal government in conjunction with legacy media has sought to suppress the abundant evidence in support of the truth that armed, law-abiding citizens are one of the most effective deterrents against public mass casualty attacks.

For instance, in 2022, 22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken stopped a mass public shooting using his legally carried concealed handgun. The story became an unusual instance in which the national media covered this heroic action. But an Associated Press headline claimed: “Rare in US for an active shooter to be stopped by bystander.” Meanwhile, a Washington Post headline declared: “Rampage in Indiana a rare instance of armed civilian ending mass shooting.”

My advice, a Maverick 88 20” 12 ga pump. $249.

I saw that deal on the Maverick 88. Nice deal. I think it holds 7 shells plus one in the chamber. You don’t need an expensive tactical shotgun. A Maverick or basic Mossberg 500 are both excellent shotguns.

Somebody needs to tell Trump that John Lott deserves a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

School shooter Gray quickly surrendered to deputies when he realized the situation was going to escalate into a gunfire exchange with officers.

I’ve wanted to see this sort of effort for a long long time.

Expose these people, and put them away.

There, I fixed it.

None of what progressives do or want to do works without their iron grip control over the media. They simply just don't have to ask a question, and simply don't have to report on inconvenient stories, and then the story never happened.

If a tree falls in a forest, and a journalist isn't there to write about the falling, then the tree did not fall.
