Yes, But How Does It Work, Exactly?
I am one of those tiresome people who, when told about some amazing cure, whether it's an herbal supplement or waving a crystal over the general region of my internal plumbing, want to know just how and why I'm going to get better. Yes, there's no doubt a placebo effect, but I don't want to waste time and money (and potentially poison myself).

And to answer your question: yes: the number of massacres has also decreased where law-abiding gun owners are present. In fact, whenever a law-abiding gun owner with a concealed carry permit is present at an attempted mass-shooting, they stop it. The would-be mass-murder never manages to kill more than two or three persons (I include the would-be mass-murderer, though there are those who won't: one never learns until later whether the killer is an evil man, an Islamic zealot or just some poor insane schmuck who can't get the help he needs thanks to the wacky "nobody's insane! it's all A Plot" wing of the progressive party.)
In no other country do we marry a giant suppy of guns with a large free-roaming criminal population, utter refusal to keep the violently insane off the streets, and a unremitting media message "it's all about you! you're not responsible for anything! take what you want, when you want, and if it doesn't work out, it's someone else's fault and you Should Get Them."
The solution, for progressives, is to ignore the social pathologies and disarm the law-abiding. Because that makes sense.
If you doubt me, please post a bright yellow sign visible from the street in your front window reading, "This is a gun-free zone."
Why we do this to our school children is anyone's guess.
