"While the FBI claims that just 4.6% of active shootings were stopped by law-abiding citizens carrying guns, the percentage that I found was 35.7%."
"Last year, the CDC became the center of controversy when it removed its estimates of defensive gun uses from its website at the request of gun control organizations." "The CDC’s estimates were subsequently taken down and now lists no numbers." "The FBI defines active-shooter incidents as those in which an individual actively kills or attempts to kill people in a populated, public area. But it does not include shootings that are deemed related to other criminal activity, such as robbery or fighting over drug turf. Active shootings may involve just one shot being fired at just one target, even if the target isn’t hit." "The Crime Prevention Research Center numbers tell a different story: Out of 440 active-shooter incidents from 2014 to 2022, an armed citizen stopped 157. We also found that the FBI had misidentified five cases, usually because the person who stopped the attack was incorrectly identified as a security guard."

FBI Data on Active Shootings Is Misleading
The FBI data on active shootings is missing so many defensive gun uses that it’s hard to believe it isn’t intentional.
