If someone in the crowd had had a gun and just fired back at the windows where Paddock was, he/she might have been able to save dozens or scores of live by giving the targets a chance to escape.
Hollywood elites don’t care for the common/working class people except for their money.
Time to boycott Hollywood trash - both anti-American movies and leftist actors/actresses.
It’s a shame since I loved Emma Stone in “Zombieland”.
Um, I'm not sure people firing at an occupied hotel full of innocent guests is a good idea. Besides, they were at a concert, and even IF they were allowed to carry a weapon into it, they'd have handguns, not rifles. The distance to the hotel (32nd floor) was around 400 yards. I'm no ballistics expert, but I think that might be beyond the effective range for a handgun, and you couldn't possibly be even remotely accurate with a handgun at that range. You'd be lucky if your rounds were within 50 feet of where you were aiming.
But really, the more important point is that people firing blindly back at someone surrounded by other innocent people, isn't the right response. You should never shoot without considering what is near or behind your target. Or at least, that's what I've always been told.
Well, first of all, this man would need a high-powered rifle and need to be good with it, since his target would have been about 1500 feet away. And then, he would have had to account for the reflection of Paddock’s gunfire off a number of the hotel windows and thus determine which flashes were the actual guns. Otherwise, he would fire into another suite and possibly take innocent lives.
