On October 1, 2017, I took a flight from Kennedy airport to Heathrow to attend Frieze London, slept intermittently on the flight, and when I landed the next morning, I reached for my iPhone to swipe off airplane mode. Collectively, alongside my jet-lagged travelers, news alerts streamed in that, a few hours earlier, a gunman had used 14 semi-automatic rifles equipped with bump stocks and eight AR-10 battle rifles to murder 58 people at a music festival in Las Vegas. He sprayed bullets into the crowd from a perch in a suite at the Mandalay Bay Hotel. It was the deadliest mass shooting in American history.
