So your interpretation of the 2nd Amendment is that allowable weaponry is only those used for hunting? Goodbye pistols and revolvers...

No, we start a debate over semantics so some overly broad bullshite like you just posted doesn't take away people's rights. An AR-15 is incredibly common for hunting hogs.

how you could breakdown 8 LR's (potentially) and make it look like normal carry in luggage?
Posted on 10/2/17 at 7:53 am to 50_Tiger
They would have to have a checkpoint at every entrance and exit, which there are several of at even the smallest hotels, and you would have to be checked every time you enter and exit, not just when you check in. This will never happen. Hotels would fight it tooth and nail.

I mean I get that, but if 8 is true how many could you theoretically fit in standard luggage?

You probably wouldn't even need to do that. The average AR is what... 40" or less? You could fit a few in an oversized bag.

It is still a business. They are not going to search everyone for fear of lost revenue. How many people are going to avoid searches just so they do not have their sex toys seen? Or they do not want potentially stick fingered employees to take inventory of their jewelry in the room?

I have a large range bag that I sometimes use for travel. I've seen people use military seabags. You could fit 10 rifles and your clothes in one of those and it wouldn't look odd.

I know there are one way entry doors. You could still funnel people coming in through the main entry while allowing folks to leave through multiple.
Metal Detectors would have to be installed at the exits still though for people holding doors open for others.
I do however agree with you that hotels would fight this. However, there is also a possibility they would lay down, because who wants to be known as the company who supports mass murder (being hyperbolic, but this is how it would be framed).

A hotel I stayed at in Istanbul had airport style security at the front door.
There's a difference between setting up security and if it will actually stop a shooter. So I think the arguments that it "won't work" are immaterial. This is feel good legislation. We have tons of those.
As for Congress, I bet you see the Commerce Clause as the basis.

Perhaps for larger resorts that overlook a festival or fairground or attraction. But the cost of putting in metal detectors or airport scanners at a Red Roof in in Denton, TX?

If the hotel has balconies all you'd have to do is haul them up that way. There's no way to make a hotel secure enough to cover all possible entry points without spending a ton of money.
It's not going to happen.

If its federal law, they don't have a choice.

I know. I could tell as soon as you said "military style weapon".

I agree. I am more or less suggesting it be such a pain in the arse that sick fricks don't see it as an opportunity.

I would definitely say if something of the sort came to fruition, the larger resorts that have facing walls at a major public gathering space will be hit with this.
