Original Note:
Evidence suggests the "good guy with a gun" argument is flawed. A 2014 FBI study found more active shooters were stopped by unarmed civilians than armed civilians/police. A 2019 Stanford paper concluded there isn't "the slightest hint" that more guns reduce violent crime. https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/active-shooter-study-2000-2013-1.pdf/view https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w23510/w23510.pdf
