If we are talking about prevention, removing the "mass" is kind of the point. It would kind of be pointless to do an analysis of school shooting excluding the instances when the shooter is stopped if we are discussing whether certain methods work for preventing shootings. That invalidates the whole analysis. 

And, if I may be so bold, where is all of your evidence proving your hypothesis? Why are the people who disagree with you the only ones tasked with providing studies to suit you?

Its people in this thread who seem to claim that more guns means more masshootings or whatever, not me.

Well:

A) That's a shitty way to debate

B) If you are looking for a perfect study to fix the exact question you are looking for then sorry bud, you ain't gonna find it. Science doesn't work like Rule 34. You essentially build the house of your argument out of the information you have available. In this case, we can get pretty close to your questions at hand, but alas, it isn't quite possible to fit it perfectly. Like, the block fits in the hole, but there is a bit of wiggle room. It provides us a reasonable assumption regarding your question and I see no reason why that shouldn't be considered good enough here.
