Ariz. Rep. wishes there was 'one more gun' in Tucson

Rep. Trent Franks, an Arizona Republican who's been outspoken in remembrance of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in the wake of Saturday's shooting, says he wishes there was one more gun in Tucson, Ariz., the day of the massacre.

"I wish there had been one more gun there that day in the hands of a responsible person, that's all I have to say," Franks said, visibly irritated at a question about increased gun control.

The comment came as GOP lawmakers were being briefed by the FBI, sergeant at arms and leadership staff on security. Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) said House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) was taking the right steps, adding that law enforcement officials would later pass out written information on the any increased security.

Much of the talk is centering around lawmakers increasing coordination with local law enforcement when they're back in the district.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who plans to carry a concealed weapon to events, said he thought that e-mails from Capitol Hill law enforcement to members should've come quicker than it did.

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) has already designated a local law enforcement liaison in his office, and he said they've begun reaching out to security officials.
