There isn't a damn thing anyone could have done to prevent this act of terror, I would suggest that from now on when there is a big event going on that Hotels put guns that guest's check in, into an safe and not let them get the weapons unless their leaving the hotel.
My Heart goes out to all those families and injured persons involved in this act of terror upon innocent Persons.
No Pistols in the world would reach the windows that man shot from, People carrying guns would have done nothing except cause more damage and maybe shot someone innocent in the lower windows that may have been watching what was going on there.
We don't need to argue here we need to stand together and stop this senseless crap from happening.

Maybe cops could take a break from gunning down black men/teenagers and protect large events like this instead?

I know it's a radical idea but it MIGHT work...

lol nice snark! I didn't catch it at first. Yeah, all those people at the concert with guns would have shot each other first. What could go wrong with thousands of guns going off all at once with none of them being able to shoot more than a couple hundred feet accurately not to mention most were over the alcohol limit. Ever try and shoot a target drunk?

Only thing that may have saved more lives are a few sharp shooters who were already positioned but that's hindsight.

This country could get serious about constraining gun sales. Tax the hell out of them. How about $100,000 sales tax on anything other than a single shot hunting rifle? Licenses for owning older guns that don't meet that requirement could go for a million. I'm not saying we should deny people the right to own a gun, just make them pay for the damage they caused and regulate the shit out of them going forward.

We have about 4 guns per person in the US and more are being bought each day. This while hunting is declining.

The image of what would have happened if a thousand or more civilians had opened fire on that asshole is something out of a blues brothers comedy. Of course in the movie, nobody would have been hurt. But the whole side of that building would have been shot out.

That's somewhat unfair to people who have guns for things other than shooting innocent people...

A sock puppet is an account used simultaneously with another. I have never had a sock account. Now tell everyone why you banned Chesusrice.

Chesusrice was banned for asking the question.
"Will you Bernie babies vote for CLINTON now that Sanders has endorsed her?"

22000 people blindly shooting at hotel windows sounds like a great idea

No, no. When you are in a situation like that you achieve perfect clarity. You don't mind the bullets whipping around or the panicking people and you can see in the dark. Time slows down. Your ears are flooded with pure adrenaline that allows you to track the incoming bullets back to their source like a laser with 100% accuracy. You can immediately and perfectly assess the threat without fear of mistaking some other "hero with a gun" as a hostile and putting a slug into them.

It's cool. You should try it sometime. I read about it in a book.
