I don't think this follows. Historically speaking, most mass shootings have occurred at locations that specifically disallow firearms, making them "soft targets" where the cowardly attacker will not have anyone fight back. It doesn't seem logically consistent to assume that this policy item has the effect you are stating.

They’re downvoting you because they don’t like hearing logic or the truth.

Most places with large crowds disallow firearms, and most mass shootings occur at places with crowds. You're confusing correlation with causation.

I’m not making any claim of causality, simply stating that the claim of causality in the opposite direction does not follow.
