I recognize the irony.
I really do.
I am an American, I have lived in areas with large numbers of gun crimes ( highest in the states for much of my life) and in areas where there were nearly as many guns as people.
I do think there should be stricter laws regarding guns.
I also do not take pleasure in seeing elected officials shot at a few miles from where my sons lay their head at night....
I don't think anyone is taking pleasure from this mate, it's just another sad day that guns laws won't be changed or amended because the people who have the power to do it are more interested in keeping the money flowing and fondling the NRA.
Case in point.

This morning at 10 am I was scheduled to cover a House GOP-led hearing on deregulating gun silencers. Another day in America

FYI, bill has the unassuming name: "Sportsmen Heritage & Recreational Enhancement Act." Rep. Duncan added provision to deregulate silencers
