The FBI (Deliberately?) Undercounts Active Shooter Events Stopped or Prevented by Armed Civilians

The Federal Bureau of Insurrection (FBI) likes to keep statistics. They were never complete or trustworthy, but the last few years have demonstrated that the agency is partisan and prone to misleading the public. This is no less true regarding the benefits of armed, law-abiding citizens.

AWR Hawkins, reporting for Breitbart News, has some interesting statistics about active shooter events, armed civilians, and FBI statistics. It seems “The Bureau” – likely short on manpower because they are too busy framing presidents and civilians for imagined crimes – got the numbers wrong.

And we’re not just talking about a rounding error.

According to the FBI, civilians stopped or ended around 3% of active shooter events. The real number is closer to 34%.

AWR Hawkins explains.
