As a familiar debate rages anew about gun control in the wake of the latest mass shooting, Fraser said she doesn’t think anything could have been done to prevent the tragedy that claimed her husband’s life. “Unless we have metal detectors everywhere we go, this could never be avoided,” she said. “We can’t live like that.”

The only preventative measures she wants are better security at places like the hotel where the shooter holed up with so many guns. “Could the Mandalay have been watching their cameras and seen that this guy came in how many times bringing how many suitcases?” she asked. “Could they have had break=proof windows so that he couldn’t have broken through his window? Or an alarm? I don’t know what could have been done.”

One thing Fraser doesn’t blame: gun laws. “It’s not like he had a record, this guy was clean,” she said. Besides, Brian “wasn’t about gun control at all. … He was not for that.”
