Realistically, it would be better to wait for a more politically opportune moment to bring this bill to the floor. Given the recent shootings, it would give more ammunition(lol) to the democrats than necessary.

I can see delaying it for awhile, in fact it would be best it did. It would be shot down in flames coming up for a vote right now.
Ryan and his cohorts aren't thinking about what you and I need, they are looking down the road at the next election to see how the tide comes in from the public on this incident before they do anything related to guns.

I say to put it up as scheduled and stick it in their face. Make them spout off their anti-gun rights rhetoric and not give them a pass by not forcing the issue. It's gonna be a tough fight no matter what under any circumstances.

Exactly. This bill had bi-partisan support. Delaying it will only give that support a chance to dissolve. It'll show how much real support is there vs. those that pay it lip service to help get elected knowing they'll never have to vote on actual passage. There's wayyy too much of this going on these days.
I honestly think it did have a chance of passing the House anyway.I guess my question is this , did the bill have a reasonable chance of passing in the first place.
The last thing you want for a bill you really want passed is a solid defeat in a vote. It makes it much harder to get back on the schedule.
Public bipartisan support for this bill evaporated before the bodies cooled off.
