What I doubt is that, of 42 people who stopped a shooter, literally zero of them used a gun to nonviolently deescelate. Zero? That's definitely possible, I'm not arguing against that. What I'm saying is, because the data isn't organized well, it's unclear. It only says that they subdued the attacker without shooting. That does not indicate that they didn't have a gun.
Sometimes, rarely, you can stop a bad guy with a gun by just pointing a gun at him.
I think you don't understand how few people have a gun at their hip at any given time despite how many having one at home.
Well it looks like at least 22 people definitely had a gun, or 33% of shooters that were subdued by a bystander were shot.
But not even one of them used a gun to force a surrender without firing? Possible! Unlikely.
