"Data provided by the CPRC (https://crimeresearch.org/2022/10/massive-errors-in-fbis-active-shooting-reports-regarding-cases-where-civilians-stop-attacks-instead-of-4-4-the-correct-number-is-at-least-34-4-in-2021-it-is-at-least-49-1-excluding-gun-free-zon/) shows that 34.4% of active shootings were thwarted by a good guy with a gun between 2014-2021. The FBI, however, only lists 4.4% of active shootings as having been thwarted by an armed citizen during the same time frame. "

"the FBI database of active shooters cannot be trusted? and that the FBI?s underreporting could be the result of ?bias or just incompetence."

"What is particularly troubling is the unwillingness of the FBI and the media to correct these omissions when informed about them," the report states.

The .gov is not your friend. It is a big scam. It terribly needs reform. Both parties are corrupt. They will only help you if it is to their benefit too. The laws they make are more to protect themselves than you. As a business they are $31 trillion in the red. They are untouchable.

I know all too many people that are ready, willing, and perhaps too able to stop active shootings.

Just kidding,.

Yeah, if these are real statistics, it looks bad on the FBI.

The FBI is corrupt to the core, just like the government that runs it.

Fun Fact: most incidents involving a "good guy with a gun," the gun is only presented to deter further aggression and unfired... that makes up the majority of cases... and over half are unreported so never factor into the statistics.
