Are private owners taking matters into their own hands really better? Do you really want hotel staff rooting and pawing through your bags (or x-raying them) whenever you check into a hotel? How about body scanners or magnetometer gates like in an airport? Every. Bloody. Time. You go out for a drink or a show, come back and have to stand in line and deal with that nonsense?

How would that even work in smaller hotels or motels with multiple entrances? What about landlords? If you rent a condo in a high-rise, should you be subject to a search whenever you walk into your own home with grocery bags?

That would end up basically being a privately-run police state. Or we could just make it more difficult for nutters to buy powerful weapons.

Plenty of states make getting a license a PiTA, and their laws pass the 2A test. No need to change the Constitution, just pass stricter licensing laws for the more powerful weapons.

Amazon should suport the NRA.
If people go out less, Amazon can sell more.

Guns mean freedom. I’m willing to give the NRA the benefit of the doubt. Let’s normalize gun carry like any accessory. No invasion of privacy because the right to carry would be protected by law.

Potential shooters would not dare because the good guys with guns will respond to save lives.

It’s like crowd sourcing of gun owners for protection.

Sean Hannity had an answer. He’s a trained gun owner. He said, talking to himself in the third person: Wouldn’t you want a trained Hannity so you have a chance?

Millions of Sean Hannitys would of course equate to a safer world. Free protection from economies of scale of gun owners. The private markets are so wonderful!

And some kid shoots off fireworks and gets blown up by drones?

From what I know there was no way to prevent the Mandalay Bay shooting, and that is true for most of the mass shootings I’ve heard of. Even if people were armed at the concert they would not have been able to stop the shooting, in fact people in rooms around him would have probably been killed accidently. A platoon of armed drones, maybe, like in Bladerunner 2049. We need to stop looking to the government to solve everything and just accept that life sometimes sucks. I’m honestly glad that he shot himself and saved tax payers the additional cost of court and incarceration, think of it as instant justice/punishment. I do think this will affect people going to Vegas, even before this all happened I had decided I don’t want to go to Vegas. No more cheap rooms/buffets/table limits too high for my blood.

They don’t have to shoot deadly munitions, just anything you can think of that would slow down a shooter.
