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.

One thing that isn't going to happen...
...while Congress is debating whether to strike Syria:
Assad isn't going to be using chemical weapons.
When the guy yelling at you is being held back by his buddies, you don't provoke him further.
