Gun Owners Stop More Shootings Than Cops
A study by John Lott, utilizing FBI active shooting reports, indicates that legal gun owners stopped 51.5% of active shooting attacks, surpassing law enforcement's 44.6% intervention rate. The research also highlights that armed civilians were significantly less likely to be injured or cause bystander harm compared to police during these events. The study suggests gun-free zones may increase vulnerability by necessitating reliance on delayed police response.
