One of the main reasons America isn't a developed nation, we think being without a gun is scarier than being without a doctor. Even though no mass shooting has ever been stopped by a "Good guy with a gun"

Actually I think that happens pretty often. For example, in this one. It's unfortunate, but there are so many people with guns and willing to use them that to say they never stop mass shootings is unrealistic.

In that one the shooter killed 26 people, I wouldn't say they were prevented from doing a mass shooting. Stopped while they would have continued, sure I guess, but the police can do that too in any country.
