A popular NRA mantra is "If the good guys carry guns.."

Well there were something like 20,000 at that festival, in a City with probably the laxest gun laws, and easiest access to gun purchase...

Yet apparently that night none of the good citizens in the crowd were carrying, or they were so shocked they were incapable of responding, drawing, and shooting back...???

Which thankfully prevented the scenario of extra untold mayhem and bloodbath
of panicking shooters firing guns in every direction at any imagined sniper position...

That would have been one hell of an uncontrolled mess of a cowboy shoot out for the cops to contend with...

So did the festival have a search and hand in guns at the gate rule...???
Which would have been sensible considering the amount of alcohol to be enjoyed at a Country festival.....

And even if they did, how easily could stewards and security have implemented that 'infringement' on legal gun carriers rights...??????
