41. Well in that time, a police officer was shot and killed by the suspects

not only that. though the suspects were found, they weren't found through identification of the explosive they used...these rules prevented that from being used to identify or trace them.

in other words, we're lucky authorities found other ways to find these guys, because one avenue, an important one, has been opposed by the NRA and is thus not available to law enforcement.
