How many shootings happen in gun free zones where no one has a gun to shoot back? Simon had decreed the mall to be gun free and fortunately that was ignored here.
The lasting solution is for armed law abiding Citizens to eliminate these murderous crazies post haste whenever they pop up. Like the game whack-a-mole but when armed Citizens whack them they will never pop up again, and soon this will end. Remember an armed society is a polite society, by design.

I don’t care about a “guarantee”. I care about odds. The more “stand up” citizens armed at a given location at a given point in time ups the odds of taking out the trash in a short amount of time, possibly lessening the effects the attacker intended.
Maybe it wouldn’t help much, but in such situations, a little “help” may mean everything in the end.
I thought legally armed guys were "scary" and made libs uncomfortable.
I'm going to guess that most of those 433 incidents were gang-related, in neighborhoods where there aren't many good guys who can pass a CCW background check.
But Dicken’s act, though heroic, was also a statistical unicorn. An examination of 433 active shooter attacks in the United States between 2000 and 2021 showed that only 22 ended with a bystander shooting an attacker, according to data from the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center at Texas State University.
Maybe not the best idea. The cops might arrive, see him standing there with a gun in his hand, and blow his ass away.
Maybe because the vast majority of shootings were in “gun free” zones? Idiots at the NYT.

It's downright Biblical.
Even better, the name is pronounced as Elijah but the spelling draws in Elisha, and he goes by "Eli" for short.
This 22-year-old Can-DO man was taught by his grandfather. I hope Grandpa is still around to see the rewards.
I’m used to you bloviating but I fail to see whatever point you’re trying to make in #18.
Is there any OBJECTIVE evidence of your assertion? I submit that people who go to the trouble of arming themselves and, God forbid, go to classes, get their CCW and take additional training are MORE likely to intervene than the population at large.
Other than Uvalde, are there examples of armed citizens cowering in fear if they have the chance to intervene?
What a coincidence. 433 is the number of cops who were standing around with their thumbs up their arses while an active shooter killed a bunch of kids in Uvalde.
Constitutional Carry went active July 1st. No word on whether this man had a previously required permit or not.
I suspect, if not, you won’t hear much about it.
not quite the definition of TOXIC MASCULINITY
Paul Kersey , Pick up the white phone You are desperately needed........
Their numbers are way off.
I posted an article the other day of many more incidents where good guys intervened.
See BangList keyword.
lawyer posted his license. for some reason he blacked out height and weight. maybe Hero was overweight and didnt want people to know
