just throwing this out there, but is now a good time to talk about gun control?

it seems after ever massive gun tragedy, the repukes crow, "now is not the time!"

well, we haven't had a mass slaughter in a few weeks (some sort of new record), wouldn't now be a good time?

just askin....

Trump is the only guy who could sell gun control to his base...

Look how his gun-grabbing pal Rudy G cleaned up NYC...Gun control!!!

All he has to do is walk them down the CC path - and there it is.

They will love being "official approved Americans" who can buy/own guns.

Either

1. Yet another mass shooting occurred in the past week or so, and "this is no time to politicize such tragedy"

or

2. Yet another mass shooting will occur in the next week or so, and "this is no time to politicize such tragedy"
