Was the "Now is not the time" rule suspended?

I noticed a number of talking heads going on about gun politics right quick this time.

I thought nobody was supposed to talk about guns for at least a week or two after these things because, well, "Now is not the time..."

Because I realized that, yes, I agree. Now is not the time to talk about gun policies.

It's true.

It's way too fucking late.

Counting on the American Peoples' memory being short.

It was covered for a few weeks after Newtown, then after the NRA did their little counter-offensive, it faded from view.

Thanks for the thread, jberryhill.
