The issue is that for every instance of "good guy with a gun stops bad guy with a gun", there's 10 instances where there's no way that could have happened in the first place.  (And other countries seem to have more success with preventing those in the first place).  

Is there really? Im really curious whats the ratio between people protecting themselves with guns to people using guns for criminal acts.

Most people have their gun locked or hidded away,it needs luck to be near it when it is needed and even when you can get a hold of it you also potentionally make yourself a target of more violent actions if you can not act fast enough.
