The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun
Demonstrably false.

Gotta be honest, those numbers are looking pretty good if only 7% of people always carry but 34% of shootings were stopped by one of those 7%. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that a good majority of the remaining 65% weren't stopped with a gun because nobody there had one at the time. Same for the ones that weren't stopped by any bystanders armed or otherwise.
In at least one of those police just stood outside with theirs for two hours.
And yet there is no way of knowing that, so you're just making an unprovable assertion. I showed data.
How would you stop a fascist with a gun that wants to put you in a camp?
If you are lgbtq, on any mental health medication, or a immigrant as a result of natrual born citizenships then you need to realistically ask yourself this question, because that's the stated policy of the new president.
Real obvious answer, you shoot them.
"how would you stop a fascist with a gun that wants to put you in a camp"
If they were really a fascist, I would shoot them.
The best way to stop a good guy with a gun is to shoot first (in countries where there's a good chance you might be shot if you're committing a crime)
Of course, if you go from serial robber to serial murderer, that brings a whole lot more heat. Probably best to just get like, a job and stuff, less people get shot painting houses.
facts.
