NEW YORK, June 2 (Xinhua) -- In the past 10 years, good guys with guns have been present or quickly arrived at the scene of nearly every major mass shooting in the United States but failed to stop the gunman before he was able to take multiple lives, reported the Time magazine on Tuesday.

"Good guys with guns don't always win gunfights," said David Hemenway, director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center and the Harvard Youth Violence Prevention Center, refuting the previous assertion that "the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."
