Data on Mass Shootings

Here’s a great overview from Dave Hardy of key data that’s been assembled on post-Columbine mass shootings.

  • incidents last about 8 minutes
  • the murderer deliberately targets and ambushes defenseless victims
  • the murderer has no interest in hostages or negotiations
  • the murderer “typically fold[s] quickly upon armed confrontation”

All of these underscore the fact that people who are armed and able to defend themselves are in an excellent position to stop these murderers in their tracks.
