Of course you wouldn't think so. You tend to reject any facts which don't comport with your preconceptions.

The fact of the matter is that when a mass shooter changes magazines they are vulnerable. The facts support that. Most mass shooters are not highly trained killing machines, Just delusional crazy people with a deadly weapon in their hands. Not only is there the time it takes to change the magazine, there is the realization that the magazine is empty, the loss of targets and the time it takes to reacquire the targets. Sure, if they are highly trained by experts, all of those times can be reduced. But that is almost never the case.

And yes, there are numerous other events that can stop a mass shooter. The fact of the matter is that they are not as common as the one where they have to change a magazine. Those are the facts. You can wave your hands, craft low probability scenarios and just make shit up, but that doesn't change the facts. Despite what the NRA wants you to believe.
