Too early or too late to discuss gun violence? [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by HappyMe (a host of the General Discussion forum).

I'm sure my timing will be wrong to even bring it up after another three people were hunted down in an Oregon mall. But where were all the gun nuts out there who protect everyone with their private weapons?
