OP,
I have learned that there is no point in debating this issue. It doesn't matter the potential or intent the person had to start with. What they will respond with is " they only shot..." and somehow it makes it better in their mind.
It is extremely difficult to measure what is actually averted. What if someone turned around and there was no shot fired, let alone a physical presence beyond turning around in the parking lot, because they saw a marked patrol car. Is that a mass shooting averted or not? To the anti's the answer would be NO, since there were no casualties. Hard to have a mass shooting when it was stopped before it happened for whatever reason. These events aren't counted in stats.
