Antis say our gun laws should be like those in Canada..
« on: July 17, 2012, 02:36:58 AM »
  Oh really ?

   If a murderer or terrorist is bent on killing people, he will accomplish his mission.   The only thing strict gun control guarantees, is that there will be nobody in the crowd who is able to stop the killing....

Correct me if I'm mistaken.
Has there been any mass shootings in the USA that were prevented or at least limited in the number of victims by anyone being armed, Civilian or Off Duty LEO?

Shooting are stopped all the time by armed citizens. Its not a mass shooting if its stopped before it starts. So its hard to say how many. Could be a very high number.
The mass shootings that do happen are usually in places that law abiding citizens are not allowed to carry, like in schools, and the guys doing the shooting know that.

No that's not the one I recall. I remember it being a faculty member though,and only one person, not two.
As noted in your article, not widely reported by the press at the time. :(

Is this the one?
 
Instances of armed citizens using their weapons to stop crime never recieves the hype that gun crimes do-it just wouldnt fit the liberal narrative that guns are bad.

There have been such incidents. Dangerous, though... If anything goes a bit wrong the citizen will find the state to be his adversary

And this story that just happened ;)

http://abcnews.go.com/US/florida-man-71-shoots-alleged-robbers-internet-cafe/story?id=16800859#.UAcchxLwmVo

And we don't know the number of robberies that have been prevented because of criminals knowing there are people out there with CWC's and most know how to use them ;)

 BBF;
 How about this one..how many would have died, had not this courageous gal dumped the killer ?
   http://maypeacebewithyou.blogspot.com/2007/12/jeanne-assam-said-that-she-was-acting.html
  Check out this thread.. http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-270374.html
    If that's not enough, check out American Rifleman or /American Hunter, each month they have a page called "Armed Citizen", which reprints stories of armed citizens saving lives..due to being armed.  This month alone, they have 9 stories from news sources.  As it stands, 23 people died, including Hupp's parents.
 
  Remember, it was this woman's fight that got concealed carry legalized in Texas. 
http://www.amazon.com/From-Lubys-Legislature-Against-Control/dp/096567844X
  She was in Luby's restaurant that night, with her Mom & Dad.  They were murdered..because she, although an excellent shot...obeying Texas law of the time..left her .38 special in her vehicle as law required.  She testified that no more than 1 or 2 would have died before she took him out.  As it stands, 23 people died that night, including Hupp's parents.
 
  NOW...tell us about Canadian gun laws...

Good guys being able to carry guns deters many bad guys from committing crimes, because the bad guys know there are good guys out there carrying guns. Its a proven fact. Bad guys don't want to get shot either. If you want to see some mass shootings, and crime skyrocket, just take the good guys guns off of them.
