Lawmakers say Ohio shooting won't change nation's gun rights [View all]

By Molly K. Hooper and Mike Lillis - 02/28/12 04:05 PM ET

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) downplayed new gun control legislation in light of Monday's high-school shooting in his native Ohio.

Asked if the shooting would prompt some kind of legislative crackdown on gun rights, Boehner nixed the idea.

---------

The shooting took place roughly 25 miles east of Cleveland, an area represented by Rep. Steven LaTourette (R-Ohio), a close Boehner ally. LaTourette took to the House floor Tuesday afternoon to lead the chamber in a moment of silence. He condemned a tragedy he said has become "all too frequent" in the United States, but did not address the issue of gun reform.

LaTourette spokeswoman Deborah Setliff said it would be "inappropriate" to talk about gun reforms so soon after the shooting. "That's not even an issue to be discussed right now," she said.
