People with bad intentions can much more easily act on those in the USA than in Europe, and having some "armed bystanders" around ain't gonna stop that.

There are never any mass shootings at gun shows or gun stores in the US where many law abiding gun owners open carry, despite there being very easy access to guns at these events. Sadly, most mass shootings take place is gun-free zones like schools where there are many defenseless victims to be found.

The mere fact that they're a regular happening over there says enough.

They are very uncommon (as in zero) where I live in the US. There are also a lot of gun owners in my community. It's hard to measure the effect of such a deterrent.
