The shooter in Dayton had 100 rounds of Ammo

[brooklynite]

He was stopped immediately only because a Police patrol came upon him while shooting.

The suspect, Connor Betts, was wearing a mask, body armor and hearing protection. He used a .223 caliber rifle with drum magazines that collectively held 100 rounds, Biehl said. The gun had some modifications but Biehl said he was unable to elaborate what those modifications were.

1. Some modifications? Bump stock?

2. Doubt it. Probably custom grips, sights, etc.

Bump stocks are spray and pray. These guys were looking to be accurate

5. Sadly that drum is available at any gun store

There's nothing "special" about it and no modifications are needed. It actually doesn't even need a "military-style" rifle. The guy who shot up the Batman movie theater had one too. Sure seems like a low-hanging fruit to get rid of, to me.

3. That wasn't what the Dayton police chief said in his presser

He played a 911 call reporting the shooter. Then he said a big reason the cops were able to engage and kill the shooter was a decision made a decade or so ago to equip the squad cars with shotguns and rifles because of the prevelence of body armor, high capacity ammo clips and assault weapons.

6. The 911 call didn't result in the police arriving...

Police stopped him within 20 seconds of when he started shooting

7. A police patrol did not "come upon" him when he started shooting

Police were in the area because of it being a hot destination on the weekend and they have an increased presence. Police heard the shots, saw people running, ran toward the gunfire and killed the shooter within 20 seconds.

The police chief said specifically that his officers were quickly able to "neutralize" the shooter because the patrol cars were equipped with shotguns and rifles that apparently are more effective than handguns against shooters who are armored up and/or carrying assault rifles.

8. Texas must allow those big 100 round drum magazines.

You need those for deer hunting.
