Very interesting article by CPRC. Using FBI data showing a massive discrepancy in statistics. (As if we didn't already know) The FBI claiming only 4.4% of GGWG incidents.
"Massive errors in FBI's Active Shooting Reports regarding cases where civilians stop attacks: Instead of 4.4%, the correct number is at least 34.4%. In 2021, it is at least 49.1%. Excluding gun-free zones, it averaged over 50%."

They are DV and retribution shootings. Rightttt.....
