Matt Vespa, at Townhall, writes about the FBI under-counting the number of mass shooting prevented or ended by a civilian who happens to be close when the incident begins.
According to the Hoover boys, only four percent of active shooter situations are stopped by ordinary citizens when the actual number is closer to 35 percent. In 2021, the figure was around 50 percent. John Lott’s Crime Prevention Research Center crunched the exact figures in their new study, which also added that the FBI misclassified shooting incidents when a civilian stopped the attacker because the police later arrested the suspect (via CPRC):
So, the FBI is under-counting those situations where a civilian stops a mass shooting, and under-counting them by a factor of 10. That doesn't surprise me.
Just another reason not to believe anything that the FBI tells us. They have lied to the American people almost continuously since 2001. They lock up patriots and ignore crimes committed by Democrats.
Looooong before '01!
