If there's an average of one mass shooting per day in the U.S., and the day of a mass shooting is "too soon!" to talk about reforms, then it'll be "too soon!" forever. It's quite clever in a thoroughly perverse way.
There will be more of these; we absolutely know it; we also know that we will not change the circumstances that allow such episodes to recur. I am an optimist about most things, but not about this. Everyone around the world understands this reality too. It is the kind of thing that makes them consider America dangerous, and mad.
Until few billionaires lose their loved ones to this madness. This country will not be permitted to change its ways.
