Good read.  John Lott knows his stuff...reference his book, "More Guns, Less Crime."

If we finally want to deal seriously with multiple-victim public shootings, it's time that we acknowledge a common feature of these attacks: With just a single exception, the attack in Tucson last year, every public shooting in the U.S. in which more than three people have been killed since at least 1950 has occurred in a place where citizens are not allowed to carry their own firearms. Had some citizens been armed, they might have been able to stop the killings before the police got to the scene. In the Newtown attack, it took police 20 minutes to arrive at the school after the first calls for help. 

I had to read this paragraph two or three times.... That fact blew my mind! Awesome article. I shared it on my Facebook!
