Why would anyone risk their life to engage a gunman unless they were personally threatened? Even if successful, they will get hassled by the police, incur legal expenses, and very likely end up in legal limbo for an extended period.
And that is the best scenario. They could be shot by the perpetrator or responding police. They could shoot someone by mistake or even a though and through shot hitting someone in the background.
We aren't paid to take those risks and don't have the legal protections that the police enjoy. |

TO REMEMBER |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
