When will it be the time?

After the recent shooting in Boulder the pro-gun groups have said now is not the time to talk about reforms, so as an outsider looking in Americans when will be the time and why?

The culture around guns in America fascinates me I am curious to where you stand and why I know this is a polarising subject so please try and be respectful to others views.

To the Republicans and other gun nuts, the time to address reforms will be never. At any time. For any reason. If we couldn't enact gun reforms after 6 and 7 year old children were slaughtered en masse in Connecticut, and after more the 500 people were killed or wounded at a music festival in Las Vegas, it is clear that they will never accept reforms. Any reform, no matter how small and insignificant, is seen as a step towards confiscation of all guns.

Reforms like universal background checks are supported by a vast majority of Americans. Even many Republican voters support them

This time, with Democrats in the White House, and controlling the Congress, something may get done over the objections of the Republicans.
