The rumor is that it was about R. Budd Dwyer, who was the Treasurer for the state of Pennsylvania. He gave a bizarre rambling speech and then reached into a manila envelope. He took out a huge gun, said, “Stand back, this will hurt someone!” and then put the gun in his mouth and fired one shot. The whole thing was broadcast live on TV only once and never again.

This is 100% correct. As a personal friend of Frank Cavanugh(orginal bassist) for Filter.
