    Here's the hustle. If you can't talk about gun violence the day of or the day after a mass shooting, you can never talk about it at all, because the shootings happen every few days. We're in a perpetual state of "now is not the time."

        Oh, I'm not politicizing this newest school shooting. #TooSoon, right? No, I'm politicizing the one from [checks list] January 23rd in... Benton, Kentucky. That's been enough time to call out the @NRA and the @GOP holding a gun to America's head, right? http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/mass-shooting

        I don't understand the logic of GOP members who send thoughts & prayers for gun violence. They're in a position to do something about it. These same people fight against universal healthcare but want everyone to own a gun. Who is paying the medical bills of gun violence victims?

        Like I’ve always said again and again. It’s not too soon to talk about gun control, it’s too late.

        This is more than just a #GunControl issue. This is a #MentalHealth CRISIS! We need to get to the root of what is motivating kids to commit these acts of violence.

        As well indifference. "Not my child not my problem". We have therapists for the victims but none for the shooter when HIS parents died. No one cared until he took out his pain on others. This could have been prevented.

        Should we let people buy and sell bombs because those can be homemade too?Solution is common sense laws that include background checks, mental health tests, and registration as part of gun ownership.

        My view from the UK: thoughts and prayers only prevent gun deaths if you get into power, then think you'll control guns more tightly and pray that Congress supports you. That's all.

        That's how they keep gun laws lax, drill it into the heads of enough people and they'll shout down any one who brings gun control up instead of making their own children safe. Rinse and repeat and make money to pay off more politicians, the NRA way.

        If we can talk about the link between psychotropic drugs and mass casualty events at the same time sure let’s go.

        But every day is a good day for our gun loving Americans to rant and rave about the 2nd amendment and the NRA... And how they believe being victims of mass shootings is a necessary sacrifice we must make to in order for them to protect our Constitution!?
