Yes. I understand. The point is I understand the entirely private, not-Constitutionally protected social norm that I can check into a hotel without a security screening, that I can go to a sportsball game or a concert without it looking like I'm entering a military base.
YOU are pointing out there's no right-to-privacy to normalize these bad compromises and solutions, to note that, well, hey, if you really want these attacks to stop, it's up to the heros in law enforcement and surveillance and increasing vigilance and whatever the **** else. No one has a right to go to a concert! No one has the right to check into a hotel without their luggage searched! No one has a right to go to an outdoor event without a big militarized police presence scanning the area for maniacs with high powered fire arms! That is all obvious; you point it out to note those could be acceptable, legal compromises and solutions to the problem of violent rampages committed with guns.
How about instead we ban access to guns?

Las Vegas Massacre Raises Questions About Hotel Security
Quote:
The massacre has left some people questioning how the suspect was able to bring so many guns into the hotel.

These are the same kinds of questions people raised after the explosion at the Ariana Grande concert in May, the Pulse nightclub shooting in June 2016, the San Bernardino mass shooting in December 2015 and so on: why wasn't security tighter? What more can be done? How did this happen?
Quote:
Lekan said he thinks the deadly shooting will prompt more heightened event security, too. Event planners may consider staying away from outdoor areas with high-rise buildings nearby where potential shooters can perch.
The massacre has left some people questioning how the suspect was able to get so many guns INTO THE HOTEL has to be like one of the most incredible questions ever asked. Think of all the premises baked into that ****ing question. What a world. 2017 America is the story of how people ask themselves with a straight face not how someone could acquire a dozen powerful semi automatic rifles that shoot 400 rounds a minute but how he got them indoors past the ever watchful eye of the bell hop.
Also now URBAN PLANNING is on the table, ready to sacrifice at the altar of guns. Did we REALLY need all these tall buildings? Someone might fire off weapons from up there!
Side note: gun control does not make an appearance in this article
