In addition to everything else you said, I think the problem is context in general. If there is an active shooter and three “good guys with a gun” whip out their weapons and start shooting, there are now four active shooters.
How often exactly does that happen? At worst what we’ve seen so far is either the shooter goes to the “sensitive place” next door where carry is prohibited or if a good guy stops the shooter and is still holding a weapon when the cops roll up, the good guy gets killed on sight.
