both Mika and Joe have a twitter page. Mika (morningmika) tweeted the name of each Senator who voted NO on the bill with a hashtag #LACKOFLEADERSHIP.
She said she wanted to use other (stronger) words, but she was advised not to.
She said on the show the response she got was so overwhelming it crashed and froze her twitter account. I took that as a favorable reaction since she said the "re-tweets" and support was unprecedented for her account.
The show really took all the Senators (and the NRA) voting NO to the wood-shed for 3 hours. Their use of the word "cowards" and "liars" was a constant.
Both Joe's and Mika's passion and sincerity was pretty impressive.

but, I'll have to leave it at that, here at least.

I can only hope I live long enough to see the downfall/dismantling of the horrible gun lobby.
