Something I noticed recently.
The pic is mostly a visual aid that helps illustrate my point concisely. I understand this is a single source that has an incentive to be biased. Recently I was blasting google looking at statistics while debating someone about 2A rights and I noticed a pattern. The studies I found showed that armed citizens generally stopped 11-17% of active shooter situations, and 11-19% of active shooter instances happened in areas where guns were allowed.
Which made me think… huh… now I’m not saying theirs is a causal relationship here, but it’s a hell of a correlary coinkydink. I looked at the statistics from many many different places and saw similar percentages. Though I struggled to find anyone linking the two percentages.
I was also surprised to find that I couldn’t seem to find an instance of a Spider-Man meme. You know where there are a bunch of spideys pointing at each other. Or any occurrence where the civilian succeeded in stopping the active shooter and shot an innocent person. Though I do know there have been times where a citizen tried to stop a shooter and died in the process.
