If a politician or public person says something and gets heckled I'm fine with it, that's part of the deal.
When someone who is a private person has their child murdered (whether it was done with a gun or a balloon) no matter what he says, whether you agree with it or not... You just quietly sit there and let him say it. The problem here is that a formerly private person decided to go say things to a public legislature, not a few people in his kitchen. The heckling is in poor taste and not something I'd ever do, but he did give up his privacy voluntarily when he decided to become a public speaker. Personally, I think the hecklers helped his cause more than they harmed it. If he really wants guns restricted, he should hope to be heckled every time a television camera is around.
