Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHave you noticed that it's NEVER the right time to discuss gun control
because it's ALWAYS too soon after a gun-related tragedy?
How convenient for the NRA and their lackeys.
ON EDIT: Earth to Jindal: the victims already got showered with bullets. It's too late to shower them with love and prayer.

Gov. Bobby Jindal said "now is not the time" to discuss gun control, despite repeated questions Friday outside the movie theater where a right-wing extremist killed two people and wounded nine others before killing himself.
A state lawmaker used the same forum earlier Friday to say that the killings should start a national conversation about gun control and the need to keep weapons out of the hands of people who are mentally ill. Police said John Russell Houser was able to legally purchase the semi-automatic handgun at an Alabama pawn shop despite a history of mental illness and an arson arrest.
Pressed to declare his position as a Republican presidential candidate, Jindal upbraided the reporters and said, "I'm sure people will want to score political points," but "now it's time to shower the victims with love and prayer."
