Mass shootings make up about 1% of the annual firearm homicide rate in the US per year. Arguing by using mass shootings as your base is almost exactly the wrong way to go about it. Even in the context of this thread - police having to fear a citizen being armed - it's not appropriate. A cop fearing a citizen with a gun is fearing for their own safety, not that the citizen will go on a mass shooting spree. It's also worth noting that France's homicide rate is about 30% that of the US's, and the US homicide rate is 75% due to firearms. US firearm homicide, per capita, is significantly larger than France's homicide rate from all causes.
