Not only that, but for every story like that one posted, you can find one where a "good guy with a gun" stopped a bad guy. Like the Uber driver with a CCP shot a gunman who opened fire on a crowd of people in Logan Square....
The bottom line is, yes, sometimes, things go wrong (even with professionals with guns), but guns can be an effective tool against criminals.
