        It is my understanding the church shooter today was stopped by an ordinary citizen with a gun.

        Nope. The gunman successfully killed or wounded over 50 people and was leaving. The ordinary citizen didn't even interrupt it.

        Well, from the reports I read, the shooter dropped his weapon when he left the church, and then was chased by the other guy. Lost control..

        Actually, a citizen with his rifle DID stop the scumbag. Epic fail, MJ.

        And to build on that even more if it were they described there would be acidental "vigilante" deaths daily. So, not everyone, reality is few

        There are accidental "vigilante" deaths daily, like when a kid gets home really late and Dad shoots a "burglar".

        Not exactly a vigante and not exactly daily and not exactly everyone. But please, don't let reality get in the way your narrative.
