Rep. Jim McGovern:
"We heard a lot of words from the gentleman, and from other Republican who speak on these issues. But you know what we don't hear? Any empathy for the families who have lost loved ones to gun violence ... all we hear about is, 'don't take away my toys.'"

LAKE BARRINGTON, Ill. -- An Illinois man shot himself in his sleep with a .357 Magnum while he was dreaming about an intruder breaking into his home, officials say.
As if wounding himself in the leg was not punishment enough, the man ended up being arrested because his Firearm Owners Identification Card had been revoked, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
The incident happened April 10. Sheriff's deputies responded to the home in Lake Barrington, in the northeastern suburbs of Chicago, that night around 9:50 p.m. on a report of a person being shot.
They found Mark M. Dicara, 62, with a wound to his leg and losing a significant amount of blood. Deputies applied a tourniquet and he was then transported to an area hospital for treatment, the sheriff's office said.
Investigators said Dicara had a dream that someone was breaking into his home, prompting him to grab his .357 Magnum revolver and shoot at what he thought was an intruder.
He shot himself and then woke up with a gunshot wound to the leg, the sheriff's office said. The bullet went through his leg and was lodged in his bed, the sheriff's office said.
"Fortunately, the round did not travel through a shared wall with Dicara's neighbors," the sheriff's office observed.
The sheriff's office said there was no burglary attempt at Dicara's residence and that he possessed a gun despite having his FOID card revoked.
The Lake County State's Attorney's Office then charged Dicara with possession of a firearm without a valid FOID card and reckless discharge of a firearm.
Dicara was arrested Monday and has been released after posting bond

America is a unique country in that its own government and public schools tell its citizens that they are evil and oppressors, that the world will end in 12 years, that you might actually be a different sex, and that you should take a bunch of drugs to deal with all that
