Mick Mulvaney, Trump's chief of staff, wants to avoid talking about Trump's failure to address rampant gun violence in America.

Virginia Beach joined a too-long list of cities ravaged by gun violence after 12 people died on Friday afternoon when a gunman opened fire in a city government building.

But on Sunday, Mick Mulvaney, the White House chief of staff, said it is "too soon" to even talk about solutions to America's gun violence epidemic.

"We have too many of these shootings, and every time the first thing we talk about is politics," Mulvaney said on "Meet the Press."

Mulvaney added, "Let's not get too deep into politics too soon. Let's think about the families."

Even though Mulvaney said the focus should be on the families, Trump could not muster a statement about the families when he visited a Virginia church on Sunday.

4. Yup

It's infuriating that he- like every other NRussiaA cash recipient- simply dismisses ANY call for a discussion of what to do about gun violence in this country and serious solutions as "politics". People are part of "politics" you freakin' uncaring cretin!

8. I really hate to use the "g" word but it seems like we're heading that way.

Especially if our chicken shit politicians don't stand up to the bully organization known as the NRA.

6. Of course it is.

7. No Mulvaney, the first thing we talk about is SAFETY

Apparently you think public safety is politics. You awful person.

[ScratchCat]

9. The guy's motive isn't even really known yet

So how would you talk about "stopping" something that you don't even know why it occurred?

10. Ok, let's talk Sandy Hook, Columbine, Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh Synagogue, Parkland Florida, Vegas..

It's been long enough since those passed.

13. My thoughts exactly. And add another 150. N/t

11. These fucking people are depraved

That is all

12. SOP for this Admin

if you can't answer the question, defer: put it off, or answer the question you want to answer.

they go to training for this.

there is no plan to address rampage shootings or regulate MSSAs further. none. as long as the GOP holds power in any part of the federal government, there never will be.

this is what America votes for. this is what we want. to live in fear of being shot, anywhere, anytime, for no reason.

14. It's always too soon, until it's too late. The sweet spot is a millisecond.

15. Can we start talking about Columbine yet?

Too soon, too soon. Think of the families.
