The 2014 and 2015 report, the first biennial study on the topic released by the agency, adds statistical weight to the long-term trend. During those years, 5 percent of the attacks were stopped by armed citizens. It states, “In 2 separate incidents, a citizen with a valid firearms permit exchanged gunfire with the shooter before the shooters were restrained and taken into custody by law enforcement.” In only one of those incidents during 2014 and 2015 was an armed citizen shot and killed during an active-shooter scenario, the report stating that the “…citizen with a valid firearms permit pursued shooters inside a store, but was shot and killed before he fired his weapon.”

 And.  sorry JOG, if MNsprings is on your side...  I can't bother to look at that.  yes, guilt by association, you may not deserve it, but I'm not exposing myself to that harassment by MNsprings, so I won't be back to this thread.

WOW.   Gollllliee  GEEEEEEEE
  Is someone Sensitive !

The phrase
“Remember the, Sneering, by the  Snowflakes ?”

Is referring to, when that originally aired,
watching the video, one saw the, ‘elected’,
           Sneer, at the words,
   Presented by  Hupp's Testimony.
Because, ’Never mind the FACTS  presented’
  their mind was already made up.

It in no way, was directed at you.
Or had the slightest connection to you.

What do, YOU, think YOU, should be called ?
