With a TV news reporter & her cameraman shot and killed on live TV this morning - how do you see this playing out in D.C. Obviously the left will call for increased gun control - do you think some conservatives will finally support the left? Or do you see it playing out as normal - both sides talking about it, utilizing their talking points, but nothing will come out of it?

TV reporter, cameraman fatally shot during live broadcast

A ex-TV news reporter killed two ex-colleagues on live TV —then posted his own videos of the killings before taking his own life.

I see both sides in heated debates about it, but nothing really will come of it, however, I do suspect you may see an increase of gun sales in the ares. Oh, and the possibility for a call for all media to be armed on assignment...
Yeah, this has the potential to get really crazy really fast if that were to happen...

OMG. Well, the DC politicians will want to probably put even more strict gun control laws into motion that will only affect law abiding citizens.

Instead of responding to the issue at hand, this will become political fodder for those running for any office, and cheapen what happened to these individuals.

Other than a call to arm reporters and cameramen, not much.
