Mark your calendars: CNN is reporting that the time to talk about gun control has been set for Sunday, December 31, 2017, between 11:59:50 and 11:59:59 pm.*

*This appointment may be suspended if a horrific shooting occurs prior to the designated time or is believed likely to happen after the designated time.

(Hey, don’t shoot the messenger! The National Rifle Association sets the rules, not me.)

(Oh, who am I kidding? You’re totally allowed to shoot the messenger. Wouldn’t want to be accused of interfering with your 2nd Amendment rights. Unfettered access to firearms über alles and all that.)
