And the right time is ?

It appears as if all Republican lawmakers got identical memos telling them to respond to questions about gun control with one or more of the following: "This is not the right time. Give the victims time to heal. This is not the time to politicize gun control. No change in gun control laws could have changed the outcome of this situation. Etc. etc."

Since 1966, America had 11 mass shootings ranging from 13 victims to 49, with 2 of the incidents involving children. (Now the figures are from 13 to 59 victims, with many, many young people killed.) As of now, 7 incidents have occurred since 2009.

It would be impossible to list the number of shooting deaths or injuries involving "just one or two people." Gabby Gifford comes to mind, however.

So, could someone please tell me when it IS the right time to address gun control and make meaningful changes to the existing laws?

Personally, I thought that when we let the 2nd Amendment take precedence over our elementary children, the right time would never come.

It is never the "right time" for members of the gun culture to talk about gun regulations, since that is anathema to them. This nation lost it's soul when it allowed the spineless wimps in Washington to decide that the slaughter of more than 20 children at their school in Sandy Hook was bearable and presumably the "price" we are to pay for the 2nd Amendment. If that horrific tragedy did not move them to address the cancer of guns in this country, then the deaths and maiming of country music fans in Las Vegas will not have much impact on them.
