Republicans need to "have a discussion on guns" in the wake of last week's grade-school massacre in Newtown, Conn., Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told his conference Tuesday.
Speaking to his troops at a closed-door meeting in the Capitol, Boehner was mindful of conservatives' traditional opposition to new gun restrictions, emphasizing that Republicans wouldn't do "anything knee-jerk," according to a lawmaker in the room.
But the Speaker also said he wants to "de-politicize" the issue of gun violence, which has been thrust dreadfully into the national spotlight following the murder of 26 people 20 of them young school children at Sandy Hook Elementary School last Friday.

Why not instead have a ‘discussion’ on the societal devaluation of human life that has occurred in this country since the Roe v. Wade decision was first handed down.
The Republican Party needs to be destroyed. Boner and every politician who supports him need to go.
My stockpile is safe, at the bottom of the lake. They will never find them unless they take it out of my hand postmortem.
I have read several places about the infamous “Sixteen GOP House members want to dump Boehner as speaker.” But there’s never a list available.
Methinks this is bullshit or some sort of dodge. Pardon my skepticism.
how about calling for talks about how parents raise their children, how the family has bene attacked, how about video games and movies which can only show sex and guts hanging out today.
Nah guns are an easy target and would be a gift to the left if they got them all banned.
Using the deaths of kids to deflect their failed social experiments, well how’s that social issues coming along for the left.
You know promote divorce, woman does not need a guy, boys not needing a father, mothers trying to be friends instead of laying discipline down and then wondering in the kids teens she is now losing him.
society has borken down because the left wanted it and now they reap what they have sown
THAT TOO!
But the low hanging fruit of pointing out the hypocrisy of pooliticians was too easy and tempting.
The politicians see easy pickings in disarming us.
If they were to be disarmed and vulnerable in the same fashion as what they plan for us, there’d be some different tunes coming from them.
Instead, they preach disarming us.
Then they grandsatdn on a pile of dead kids, fake cry, and idiots buy it by the slopful.
“grandsatdn”?!
Yeah, I’m ticked.
Typo alert, check your keyboards.
“Grandstand.”
FUJB!
That is a nice way of saying that some members of the Republican party are planning to roll over on whatever anti-gun legislation is passed.
oh really Bohner..........what don’t you understand? is it the N or the O?
damn right.
Those on the left will never point out their failure and their failed social engineering, they wanted the break up of the traditional family, give all a medal, tell kids they were equal, raise boys as fairies, never prep them for failure in the real world etc and you;re right.
Those elected officials see the gun as an easy picking, delect attec]ntion away from their failed social policies
damn right.

Course there will be those who disagree because they are art of the problem and know deep down they are adding to the problem today .
Always closed-door sessions with this guy. He's about as transparent as a brick wall.
I have a handy-dandy headline ready for every story about Boehner.
“As expected, Boehner folds on...”
Add today’s issue on at the end, and PRESTO...
Just wish some intelligence would win out.
There is not a thing that could have turned out different with more restrictions or laws in this event.
Obomooo mentioned gun sales, but the kid stole the guns which already is illegal.
He murdered his mother to get them, murder is already illegal.
Then he went to a school in a gun free zone where it is already illegal to possess a gun.
So what they are really saying is, “If guns didn’t exist..”
Meanwhile, they get protected by.. guns.
Hypocrites.
How about we have a discussion on why Boehner should be primaries in 2014.
How about we have a discussion on why Boehner should be primaried in 2014.
yea strange how these people want to ban guns but have body guards etc who protect them with guns.
Yet again do what I say and not what I do by th eleft.
I honestly hate the left, their ignorance and hypocrisy pisses me off to no end.
I;m a robber, a thief, a rapist what ever I;m a criminal looking for a target.
That house has people who have guns, got SIG, and NRA that house has no guns, they preach love, got their signs and stickers out bla bla
mmm let me think which one is the easier target, oh yea it;s not the one with guns
That they see nothing wrong with their position is quite telling.
