Do you mean that we would need metal detectors at every single hotels? And get your luggages inspected? This is not feasible.

  Have you ever traveled to another country? It might change your perspective on what's feasible and what's not. It's politically infeasible here because of groups like the NRA, but it's perfectly feasible in terms of logistics and any normal perception of rights. Remember, hotels are private property. Any owner of private property should have the right to exclude or limit dangerous items on that property. Any reasonable owner of a high-rise hotel might exercise that right, and any who don't could be considered accessories to acts like these.

    Yes, I travelled a bit, I'm French living in the US. Let's say that they prohibit it (some establishments do), without proper security screening, it would be easy to sneak anything in if you want to. The cost to implement this type of security seems too high (hardware + employees). The public may also reject that, the TSA is quite infamous in the US. Have you been in any country that has this type of security in their hotels?

      > Have you been in any country that has this type of security in their hotels? Yes. It's common in India, though TBH the staff don't always seem to be paying that much attention. This is really all about priorities. If putting an end to this endless blood tide were a priority, we absolutely could take measures that would help. We could even do so without violating essential rights. There's a reasonable debate to be had about what measures we can or should tolerate, but screaming "it's infeasible!" denies such debate. It assumes one conclusion, and doesn't even allow consideration of another.

        If any of you want to stop a blood tide start with the cars. Or maybe join the NRA as a safety instructor. Argue for gun safes and mandatory training for young gun owners. That way you can actually reduce suffering since there is a possibility that someone will listen instead of write you off as a gungrabber. That way you can save even more lives.

          > If any of you want to stop a blood tide start with the cars. Which are already regulated more than guns are. It would be great if we were allowed to make the same kind of rational choices about guns that we make about cars. Thanks for bringing that up. > Or maybe join the NRA as a safety instructor. Argue for gun safes and mandatory training for young gun owners. Oh right, I should join an organization whose policy agenda I despise, and spend my own time doing something that would have no effect on people like yesterday's shooter instead of advocating for measures that might. So glad I have you to tell me how I should spend my time. Or was that just deflection, to prevent a discussion that might lead to a conclusion you don't like? > instead of write you off as a gungrabber I can't control whether someone someone can write me off as a "gungrabber" (telling phrase BTW) even after I explicitly said that I don't want to take away everyone's guns and that they have plenty of legitimate uses. That's up to them and their psychiatrists.

          That makes a lot of assumptions about the motives behind the people pushing for those measures which allegedly help. Your comment was absolutely on point regarding cars, but that was deflected in the response.

  Not only is it not feasible, it's downright invasive.
