The claim is that if the victims were armed then mass shootings would be less frequent or less deadly to bystanders. This is a commonly repeated claim. And even if it wouldn't work it could and therefore gun control is bad.
So this study directly addresses the claim that civilians with guns would be effective at stopping gun violence, even though we've known for a while that they wouldn't. In fact, they sometimes have the opposite effect.
Got it. Thanks for the links.
