Another factor which skews the data is the sever under-reporting (due to its 
non-sensational outcome) of the instances in which a would-be victim 
successfully interdicts a crime and holds the aggressor at bay until 
authorities arrive to complete the arrest - all without a shot being fired.

Less frequent, but also notable, are the instances when a third armed party 
intevenes to stop a crime in progress, with the above result.

The media's bias against guns prevents these common citizens from being hailed 
as the heroes they are.
