Active Shooters Get Stopped By Armed Citizens Over 41 Percent According To New Data By John Lott Jr

About this video

Colion interviews John Lott from the Crime Prevention Research Center about what Colion and Lott describe as significant undercounting in FBI active shooter statistics. Lott argues that the FBI reports only 14 civilian defensive gun uses (about 4.6%) in active shooter incidents from 2014-2022, but his research claims to have found over 150 such cases (approximately 40%). Colion and Lott discuss what they characterize as FBI methodological flaws and alleged unwillingness to correct reported errors, and Lott presents his argument that when limited to non-gun-free zones, the percentage of attacks stopped by armed civilians rises even higher.

Key takeaways

• Lott claims the FBI significantly undercounts defensive gun uses in active shooter incidents, arguing his research found over 150 cases versus the FBI’s reported 14 cases between 2014-2022
• Lott argues that when analyzing only locations where concealed carry is legal (excluding gun-free zones), he found that over 60% of active shooter incidents in 2022 were stopped by armed civilians
• Colion emphasizes that Lott’s research and case lists are available at crimeprevention.org for independent verification, presenting it as an alternative data source to FBI statistics
