It's true that an assault weapons ban would do little to reduce overall gun deaths in America because mass shootings account for less than 1 percent of gun-related deaths. Unfortunately, it's also true the gunman in Dayton fired 41 shots killing nine people in less than 30 seconds. Why is anyone able to shoot that many rounds in 30 seconds?
