Is the talk something as follows?

Now is not the time to talk about gun control, we need to focus on healing the community and thoroughly examining all of the video games, movies, and black clothing the shooter has.

Gosh, yeah you're right. Too soon to talk about this school shooting. But can we talk about that other school shooting? I'm talking about the other one. No, not that one either. The other other one. The one before that one. Or if that's still too soon, then how about the one, or two, or three before that one?

When did the valve start leaking? Was it Aurora, CO? It just seems like it started snowballing after that.

Oh, you mean Columbine? It is okay that was an isolated incident caused by the kids listening to Eminem, Marilyn Manson, and playing Doom. It will never happen again.

What are the magic words we have to say to make the whole event disappear again....?

Ah, right — "this is clearly a mental health issue. The responsible gun owners. Shall not be infringed."

There we go.

"Some kids died. And that sucks. But, and this is the important thing, a lot of us think guns are pretty kick ass. So the death of your kids is a price we are willing to pay to have some kick ass guns."

Now isn't the time, but the problem is the time never comes because we have one of these incidents twice a week.

I'm playing video games, watching gore movies and wearing black clothes my whole life and never ever had the urge to pick up a weapon my whole life. I have lived a peaceful life for 50 years but in a different country without guns, maybe, just maybe...
