It's all part of an advertising campaign to prevent the discussion and keep sales high.

From a victim in Vegas..Thomas Gunderson) who was shot in the leg at this concert:
"I want to say this right now while it's fresh. People PLEASE listen to me! There are bad people in this world, but tonight, I saw every race and gender come together to save lives and protect each other. I had women tie my leg up to stop bleeding, I have men carrying me and I had many black officers and civilians holding my hand and staying with me every second of the way. Our president is far from perfect, but the divide this country is being created by media and the select few cases that they spread world wide. But you don't get to see the good in people. I'm lying in my hospital bed right now in tears, not because I'm injured but because I did my best to save lives and not once did I see color of gender. Nor did anyone else. My friends, please please take a step back, turn off the tv and go love the person next to you. Black, white, Mexican, straight, gay or anything else. Love on them and show that we are united as one in this country and NO ONE, no matter how hard they try, can break us! Ever!"

Mo' money! You can't buy the kind of advertising that the Las Vegas coward generated for bump stocks and ammo and rifles. The gun industry just has to hint obliquely about the possibility of regulations, and the gun crowd fan out across the country to buy more and more.

My God, how the money rolls in, rolls in, my God how the money rolls in!
