Even the shooting in Nova Scotia was done with a weapon purchased illegally. Almost every illegal gun in circulation was legally manufactured and sold or leased to gun retailers.

How many mass shootings have been stopped by civilians with guns? How many haven't? Quite a few have, but most of them hardly break the local news cycle. But even making an argument about statistical relevancy is a bad one, because dying from a mass shooting is already pretty low. There's just more bang for your buck focusing on other issues that are deadly.
