#NotTooSoon?

The Me Too movement grew from the ground up, seemingly overnight. So did Black Lives Matter.

Me Too astonished me by how quickly it became a national movement, and how quickly it took down some powerful people.

We need something for these mass shootings. Maybe we should call it Not Too Soon. That is based on what they always tell us, that it is "too soon" after a tragedy to discuss changing the gun laws. It is Not Too Soon!

Someone here or elsewhere may have a better name for it. Maybe someone personally touched by one of the shootings is better equipped than I to start a movement. I would be glad to help.
