If you want to know why nothing will change after the mass shooting at the FedEx Ground facility near the Indianapolis airport, you can find part of the answer about 22 miles away from the carnage.
The Indiana State Fairgrounds will be bustling all weekend with people paying $15 apiece (plus another $10 in parking) to attend the Indy 1500 Gun & Knife Show, which bills itself as “One of the Largest Gun & Knife Shows East of the Mississippi!”
What you’d find would not be surprising: Americans love guns. There are hundreds of millions of them in the U.S., more per capita than any other country. Any serious effort to keep guns away from every person who might go on a shooting rampage would also have to be a serious effort to keep guns away from the people who are walking the fairgrounds this weekend.
