Even if it was not a gun free zone, no pistol would have reached his window. You would have needed something equal to what he had to have had any impact.

Thank you. I am not alone in thinking that.
Also has LE in Vegas revealed the weapon yet. If this were your garden variety AR or Ruger mini I think we would have seen it immediately to raise the cries of gun control. My thinking, especially after hearing the bursts is that it was a clearly illegal AW. And from the sounds maybe a high capacity drum or a belt

They were sitting ducks, unarmed and no way to defend themselves.

Even if they were armed, in this circumstance, they didn’t even know where the shooter was so they couldn’t shoot back.
