From Harpers Magazine:
In Parkland, Florida, a city ranked by the National Council for Home Safety and Security as the safest in the state, a 19-year-old man took an Uber to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, set off the fire alarm, and opened fire on students and faculty members, killing 17 people. The shooter discarded his AR-15 semiautomatic weapon, the model used in six of America's ten deadliest mass shootings and referred to by the NRA as "America's rifle," and then fled to a nearby Walmart, where customers can buy rifles and ammunition but cannot purchase music with lyrics that contain the word "fuck."
