Ammunition is rather like cash or Internet bandwidth. It is hard to have too much.

Maybe a tranquilizer dart would do the trick.

David Johnson's pistol would be considered an 'assault weapon' in numerous pieces of proposed legislation.

I didn't see anywhere that it gave the type weapon his service pistol was. The "pistol" says semi-auto handgun, but it doesn't say how many magazines he had to use to get off the 40 shots. One could assume that he was at least on his third magazine is he had one of the 9mm's with a 17-round capacity.

I suppose the comment about it being called an assault weapon might fit, but I prefer that advocates on our side not make comments like that w/o a little more info.

40 shots = how many hits? Should have shot him with a tazer, oops sorry, wrong one, I mean gun.

IIRC the Lennon Sister’s ( old enough to remember them?) father was shot with a 30-06 and ran 100 yards across a country club parking lot before collapsing.

I am curious how many of the shots hit. Is this 40 shots because the cop needed more range time, or 40 shots because the violent attacker was part grizzly bear? In any case, this example is one of many proofs of the value of “gun violence”. A dedicated psychopath like this could not have been stopped without injury to the innocent, except with firearms.
