News of the shooting early yesterday at a Republican congressional baseball practice is dominating the media.  But what most missed, was the canceled hearing to loosen certain gun regulations pertaining to silencers and their use during hunting. It was canceled because of the shooting.


A congressional hearing which was scheduled for early Wednesday morning to debate gun legislation has been canceled until further notice in the wake of the shooting.  The House Natural Resources Federal Lands Subcommittee spokeswoman Molly Block confirmed the decision to CNN.


The panel had been due to debate the “Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act,” which includes 18 provisions related to guns and hunting, as well as other recreational sporting and outdoors provisions. The measure would make it easier to purchase silencers, transport guns across state lines, and ease restrictions on armor-piercing bullets. Hope for these bills, is now likely dead, unfortunately.


Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis are both were testifying at separate hearings on Wednesday. Obviously, no crisis will go to waste, and that’s quite obvious considering the blame is already on the gun, and not the crazy socialist who pulled the trigger.
