“There’s just one little problem with this: Not a single one of the 62 mass shootings we studied in our investigation has been stopped this way”
He is lying with semantics. All the mass shootings that were stopped by armed citizens were stopped *before* they became “mass shootings” by the definition used by Mother Jones.
Here are at least 15 incidents where mass shooting was attempted and stopped by armed citizens.

By Mother Jones definition (which is the common one, by the way) the pepper spray incident is not a “mass shooting” either.
They set up a straw man. When armed citizens stop mass shootings, they do not become mass shootings because they were stopped.
Thanks for the link. Was sure that was the case but didn’t have a reference.
