Heroic citizens stopping someone from killing a large number of people don’t seem to be considered news worthy. Don’t people want to read about a brave soul risking his life by running towards the sound of gunfire while others run away? Yet, such stories never get national news coverage by the national mainstream media.
The lack of news coverage allows left wing media outlets, such as Mother Jones which should know better, to falsely claim: "In not a single case was [a mass public shooting] stopped by a civilian using a gun."
The truth is that the more successful these heroes are in preventing people from getting killed, the less media coverage they receive, but the lack of fatalities doesn’t explain the lack of news coverage. And if the heroes hadn’t been there, the attacks would have been successful and the national mainstream media would have been talking about the attack for days.
While accidental gunshots get national coverage, few people have any idea how often concealed handgun permit holders stopping mass killings.
Let’s look at some of the recent cases that should have gotten some national attention.
