6 of those 9 on the list were off-duty police or former military.
Virtually all of them on the list killed people before being stopped, so there wasn't "prevention" but rather "intervention".
How many mass shootings occur without firearms?
Most gun control efforts are focused on "prevention" not reactive intervention. It is crazy that the pro-gun lobby, NRA, gun enthusiasts, etc. resist efforts to reduce the proliferation of guns among people who shouldn't have them (due to prior criminal records, mental issues, lack of training, lack of permits, etc.). As soon as you bring up closing gun-show loopholes, internet sales, etc. they cry that you are trampling on their rights when, in fact, the effort is focused on ensuring that law-abiding and properly trained/certified citizens outnumber the crazies.
I will never allow anyone to certify my right to take someone elses life in self defence or dictate what method or weapons i use.
How many mass shootings occur without firearms? Jesus peg legged christ on a stick!
How many multi car pile ups occur without cars?
How many failed organ transplant would there be without organs?
How many rapes would occur with no holes in the human body?
If we were all a- sexual would there still people confused about their sexuality?
