White House says now not the time for gun debate

[FuzzyRabbit]

Unbelievable. If not now, then when? After the next mass murder? Or the one after that?

‘I think that we can have those policy conversations, but today is not that day,’ Sarah Huckabee Sanders says in the wake of the Las Vegas shooting.

1. Now is not the time to talk about guns

It is the place for NFL players to protest.

Did you ever notice how they always want to avoid the hard topics.

2. Yes, better to talk about it when no one's listening

morons

3. The right.

Wants the next gunman to kill 100 they yell "century". At that point, we can have a debate on a gun ownership policy that allows a madman to kill 20+ people before a person can blink twice.

4. And it isn't time to discuss Climate Change either.

Republicans want to keep things status quo as long as the lobbyists keep paying them and they hire some for government positions. It is never the right time for them. Suddenly their kid is killed by a gun or a flood wipes out their grandmother's home...then it IS time to discuss it.

5. It is republican to feel empathy only when personally impacted. nt

6. They can't be distracted from giving away the treasury to the 1%. nt

7. Considering where this message comes from,

it proves it is time for a gun debate. They just don't want to say they don't want one.

8. Because they know theyll lose.

Every day that passes, more of their 'base' dies of old age.
Be patient.

9. fuck this White House and the criminals who fester in it

[RussBLib]

10. Could be that this is THE BEST TIME to discuss gun control

While the blood on the pavement is still fresh.

11. Isn't this the week we lift the restrictions on silencers?

How much worse would this tragedy have been without sound to indicate the direction and proximity of the shooter?

12. They're going to wait for the right moment. You know that moment.

When some other calamity has everyone's attention and the Republican can say, "No body cares about gun control. They're not even talking about it anymore."
