A further discussion from Reason magazine in 1997 about something I mentioned earlier - why we do not have good gun violence statistics. The answer: Congress refuses to fund it, essentially. This thing they're talking about - still going on 15 years later. That's a long time not to have good research.
A discussion of whether armed civilians stop shooting rampages. Answer: not really. The cases where it has seem to be retired or off-duty police or former military. This doesn't take anything away from what they did, it's great. But the use of a firearm in a confrontation requires training and not just any Joe Blow on the street with a gun will have that.
And the sort of article you would expect from Ezra Klein.
