"Universal background checks accomplish what wrt to bad people getting weapons ?" Let's try it and find out. "The only proven way to stop them is by individuals armed and willing to stop the evil perps in their tracks." That's a myth, of course. Unarmed ‘good guys’ doing more than armed ‘good guys’ The FBI has also compiled some of its own numbers breaking down what role "good guys" have played in active shooter incidents. In a 2014 report, the FBI examined 160 active shooter incidents that took place between 2000 and 2013. The report found that in five of those incidents, armed individuals who were not members of law enforcement exchanged gunfire with the shooter, leading to either the shooter being killed, wounded or taking his own life. By contrast, 21 of the 160 incidents ended after unarmed citizens “safely and successfully restrained the shooter,” the report stated. “Most of the time, if you’re talking about a civilian stopping a mass shooter, it’s the unarmed guy without the gun because they're right there,” Donohue said. abcnews.go.com
