But
Now is an excellent time to discuss gun control in the wake of Las Vegas. Sufficient time has elapsed.
Now is a great time to discuss it after the Sandy Hook shootings. There's been enough time since then.
Let's discuss it now that some time has passed since Philando Castile was shot.
We can begin now because it's been more than a month since the shooting at the Tennessee church.
If not now, when? Anyone need more time since those tragedies?

The arrogance of that kind of thinking is breathtaking.

(3,290 posts)two of D.C.s finest to save there butts like they did for Scalise. Seems like they were there before God and bravely averted what could have been a much worse tragedy. Officer Crystal Griner was shot in the exchange of gunfire. They did their jobs well.
God, by all reports, was unhurt.

State your method of achieving that goal.
Explain why your method will achieve that goal.
Explain what the side effects of the method are and why they are acceptable.
