Cameron McWhirter, co-author of American Gun: The True Story of the AR-15, spoke with well-known Cleveland personality Jimmy Malone on his popular radio show. Malone asked great questions. McWhirter discussed the 2019 shooting in Dayton, Ohio. The attacker in that shooting was killed by police within 30 seconds, yet the shooter was still able to kill 9 people and wound many more with his AR-15 pistol before he was stopped.
