(<em>Photo: FBI Report<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good guys with guns do, indeed, stop active shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FBI\u2019s 2021 report on \u201cactive shooter incidents,\u201d which was published this month, indicated that armed private citizens terminated four active shooters.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FBI defines &#8220;active shooter incidents&#8221; as &#8220;one or more individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are additional restrictions to the definition.  For example, drug violence and gang violence are excluded.  To better understand how the FBI defines &#8220;active shooter incidents,&#8221; consult the full report below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release, Second Amendment Foundation founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb said this data underscores the need to embrace carry rights under the 2A as these incidents are, unfortunately, on the rise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is important to acknowledge these citizen first responders, and the countless lives their heroic actions saved,\u201d said. \u201cTruly, these were good guys with guns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/ccrkba-fbi-report-says-armed-citizens-killed-more-criminals-than-police\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-fbi-report-armed-citizens-stopped-active-shooters-in-2021\" title=\"New FBI Report: Armed Citizens Stopped Active Shooters in 2021\">CCRKBA &#8211; \u2018FBI Report Says Armed Citizens Killed More Criminals Than Police\u2019<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is one revelation in the report for 2021 that underscores the importance of right-to-carry laws,\u201d Gottlieb noted. \u201cAccording to the FBI, active shooter data shows an upward trend in such incidents.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople have a right to defend themselves and their loved ones if they are caught in the middle of such mayhem,\u201d he continued. \u201cUnquestionably, in each of the four cases cited by the FBI report, lives were saved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In total, there were 61 active shooter incidents last year and all but one of the perps were males. While four of them were slain by armed citizens, 30 were taken into police custody, 14 were killed by law enforcement, one was killed in a vehicle accident, 11 committed suicide and one remains on the loose, per the report, which is embedded below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEach year,\u201d said Gottlieb, \u201cthere are tens of thousands of cases in which private citizens use firearms in self-defense. The four incidents in which the criminals were killed represent a small but significant part of this larger story. The bottom line is that our Second Amendment rights are just as relevant today as they have ever been.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/good-guy-with-gun-attempted-to-stop-mass-killer-in-buffalo\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-fbi-report-armed-citizens-stopped-active-shooters-in-2021\" title=\"New FBI Report: Armed Citizens Stopped Active Shooters in 2021\">Good Guy With Gun Attempted to Stop Mass Killer in Buffalo<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At a time when the nation is searching for solutions to these attacks in the wake of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/good-guy-with-gun-attempted-to-stop-mass-killer-in-buffalo\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-fbi-report-armed-citizens-stopped-active-shooters-in-2021\" title=\"New FBI Report: Armed Citizens Stopped Active Shooters in 2021\">racially-motivated shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo, NY,<\/a> and a school shooting in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/us\/live-news\/texas-elementary-school-shooting-05-24-22\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-fbi-report-armed-citizens-stopped-active-shooters-in-2021\" title=\"New FBI Report: Armed Citizens Stopped Active Shooters in 2021\"> Uvalde, Texas<\/a>, the subject of armed citizen responders as means to deter and stop these killers must be part of the conversation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the sad reality is evil and deranged men will continue to attempt to take the lives of innocents regardless of what laws are on the books.
