From the article:

Wake up, America.
We are not the land of the brave or the home of the free.
We are the land of the gun and the home of the free market.
Stephen Paddock’s killing spree last night in Las Vegas will not change anything – except the bottom line for numerous gun manufacturers.

1. More from the same piece:

Does that mean all guns should be illegal? Maybe. Maybe not. Does it mean they should be highly regulated. Absolutely! But no matter what you’re preconceptions, it’s a discussion we should be having.
However, we never will because our government is owned by big business, and guns are one of the biggest businesses out there.

Money rules, and policy follows the rules. The media will obsess over the motives of the shooter, and dissect his life, all in an idiotic quest to understand why he did it. And even if the "why" could be fully explained, the next mass killing will feature another mass killer with another "why" as to motives.
