If Not Now, When?
The White House says that the day after the deadliest mass shooting in American history is not the right time to talk about guns.
WTF?
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

With the GOP it is NEVER the right time.

I guess doing nothing is part of the MAGA process?

Re: If Not Now, When?
The script is familiar.
Shock, horror.
Grief.
Candle light vigils.
Thoughts and Prayers.
Increased gun sales.
Assume your usual positions.
Change nothing.
Wait for the next one.
But, please don't give any thought to how we might stop this.
That would be "disgusting"
We are a lost nation. 
The gun debate, again
Washington (CNN)The deadliest mass shooting in modern American history thrust the bitter debate about gun rights back to the center of Washington politics Monday -- and everyone reached for familiar scripts.
As horror and disbelief rocked the nation after the massacre in Las Vegas that killed at least 59 people and injured more than 500, Democrats demanded more gun control, while Republicans, who oppose new firearms laws, offered condolences and prayers.
Liberals voiced disbelief that such bloodletting, this time at a country music festival, had happened yet again. Sen Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts warned on Twitter: "Thoughts & prayers are NOT enough."
But conservatives accused Democrats of politicizing a tragedy: "I just think is disgusting," Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn said.

Re: If Not Now, When?
But, hey the same elected dudes that never support stronger gun legislation offer their thoughts and prayers to the victims. What a bunch of bullshit ...... do nothing and send thoughts and prayers.
Ok, let's start here: Ban machine guns. This is not a political issue. It's about common sense.
