I think Manic is asking when the last time a private citizen armed with a gun took out a bad guy.
Law enforcement does this on a daily basis I'm guessing

Don't ban guns because they're scared of government tyranny.
I'm afraid the bad guys will take more American lives than the government ever will.

Don’t be stupid the chance of any armed citizen stopping a mass gun Murder is ZERO.
The singer’s entourage were all packing, this being a country festival I bet a lot of people were packing too.
Let’s not discuss whether you will actually be able to take out someone with an automatic assault weapon with your concealed carry little hand gun.
Who in their right mind would even take out their firearm in a situation like this. It would be a great way to get your head pop off by the police.
The effectiveness of citizen sheepdog are made up propaganda by NRA and their supporters.

And the police won't shoot you if you take out the piece of shit before they get there, or holster your weapon when they arrive.
With the right marksmanship and taking strategic cover you can easily stop the threat even if they're using an automatic vs your pistol.
It is not propaganda, when's the last time you heard of anything like this happening in Texas?

Could anyone even tell where the shots were coming from in the crowd? And then, as above, even if you located the shooter, that's a hell of a shot to try to make while trying to hide behind cover.

we've become so numb and accustomed to them
many Americans believe it's a divine right from god to bear arms...i don't believe we'll see new regulations in our lifetime if they can't even start a dialogue on the issue

Yeah that's just what we need when there's a shooting going on, a bunch of other idiots shooting back in a crowded area. Let's not forget, not every gun owner is a trained professional that keeps calm and collected when shit goes down. While you might get the odd Jason Bourne in the crowd, the majority will be a bunch of Yosemite Sam's probably doing more harm than good.

EDIT - For those who don't know what theorycrafting means. It's when you play out a scenario/event perfectly in your head, with every action/object occurring at the right time and place.

Hold on for a second here with your call of duty pull out your side arm and 360 no scope across the map ideas.
The distance from the Mandalay tower to the concert venue is a bit over 400 yards. The effective range of a handgun is under 100 yards, in a good scenario. I dont think many civilians will have ever fired a handgun under a live fire panic filled situation. 9/10 people would be lucky to even hit the side of the hotel at that distance, let alone identify where the shots are coming from, and put one on target.
Secondly, gun control doesnt need to mean no guns. But unfortunately thats how this argument works. Anyone on the gun control side of the argument want it to be no guns, so anyone on the other side is forced to argue for no gun control.
Canada has a pretty good set of gun control laws, aside from a few details. It is a process to get your licence, you must take a course to do so, and you must pass a series of background checks. And then you cant really have any fun (good for mass shootings) firearms legally anyway. America needs some gun control reform to make it more difficult to get one, and more restrictions on the ones you can get, but a gun ban should not happen.
There are more of us gun owners on here than you'd think too. I dont think many of us own them incase we need to overthrow the government. Alot of us hunt, and shoot as a hobby. Are we all 'bad' people who should have our guns taken away?
