law abiding gun owners are more often than not ----------- the perpetrators

they were 'law abiding' - until they decided to head on out and kill lots of people with their toy guns

A significant portion of mass shooters in the United States have no prior convictions. According to a study analyzing mass shootings from 2014 to 2017, approximately 38% of known mass shooters had a history of domestic violence, but this implies that the majority did not have any prior convictions related to violent offenses[4]. Furthermore, a broader analysis indicated that many mass shooters passed background checks because they did not have significant criminal records, highlighting that some individuals who commit mass shootings may not have prior legal issues that would prevent them from obtaining firearms[6].

In summary, while specific statistics on the exact percentage of mass shooters with no prior convictions are not readily available, it is evident from various studies that a considerable number of mass shooters do not have a documented history of criminal behavior.
