Police reportedly 'neutralized' the Dayton mass killer-shooter in about 30 seconds (after the first shot). Nine still died

(Commentary, including reposted material. Temporarily posted.)

If true (..little real reason to doubt it..), no one can realistically ask for a quicker and better police response than what occurred in Dayton mass shooting, under almost any circumstances..

*..Nine still died, 27 more were wounded...*

YES: It very much IS about the killing-machine weapons (and magazines) obtained and used in these terrible shootings.
