    Default FBI report shows armed citizens stop mass shootings

    https://www.ammoland.com/2022/05/fbi...#axzz7UaQuJuLV



    A newly-released FBI report on “active shooter incidents” in 2021 [embeded below] revealed four of those killers were stopped by armed private citizens, and the Second Amendment Foundation says this is strong evidence the right to keep and bear arms is as important today as it was when the Constitution was ratified more than 200 years ago.

    There were 61 active shooter incidents last year, the FBI report said. All but one of the killers were males, and ranged in age from 12 to 67 years. SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb lauded the FBI report for acknowledging the role played by legally-armed citizens in stopping some of these events.

    “It is important to acknowledge these citizen first responders, and the countless lives their heroic actions saved,” Gottlieb said.

    A US woman has fatally shot a man who opened fire on a crowd of people with a semi-automatic rifle in Charleston, West Virginia.

    Dennis Butler, a 37-year-old with an extensive criminal history, was killed after he targeted a group of around 40 people attending a birthday party.

    Police spokesman Tony Hazelett said the woman's quick reaction saved lives and may have prevented a mass shooting.

    It comes amid a national debate over guns after a school shooting in Texas.

    Butler had driven by the area earlier on Wednesday evening when he was warned to slow down because children were playing.

    He returned armed with an AR-15-type rifle and opened fire from his vehicle on the birthday-graduation party outside the apartment complex in the city.

    Mr Hazelett told a news conference that the woman who fired back did not have any law enforcement background. She has not been identified.

    "She's just a member of the community who was carrying her weapon lawfully," he said. "And instead of running from the threat she engaged with the threat and saved several lives."

    The woman remained at the scene after the shooting, and is co-operating with investigators.

    Charges will not be filed against her, police added.

    Such an IMPORTANT subject and also a HUGE solution that the MSM and sleepy joe regime is not talking about. They keep blaming the inanimate object and taking away freedom loving peoples rights. The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. So pissed that MSM is in the tank with the cabal and silent.
