So... With these shootings happening Sadly too many times in the US.. How many times was the killer shot down by an average Joe who had a gun?

There are about 2 million defensive gun uses each year

according to Kleck and Gertz, who say over 95% of those weren't reported to officials - so how do come they have enough data to estimate that huge volume of unreported defensive gun uses?

the reality is that criminal gun uses outnumber defensive gun uses -that's by hard numbers and not fairytales

Well no shit.  But are the criminal uses for people with a licensed gun and for those who are licensed to carry? No.  

If there were no guns, that'd be dope, but its not how it works.  This was an act of terrorism and people feel very strongly that a gun free zone is a joke.
