The deaths of Alison and Adam is really hitting home with the American media.

If the talk shows are going to discuss gun availability then please make it an honest conversation. CNN had two pro-gun folks debate the issue of guns. Really? If life can't be respected in a debate or conversation then don't do it. Thank you.

The father of a Virginia-based reporter slain (click here) during a live television segment Wednesday says he hopes to find purpose in his daughter’s death by pushing for stronger mental health screenings for prospective gun owners.
“I’m not going to let this issue drop,” Andy Parker said during an interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly. “We’ve got to do something about crazy people getting guns.”
Parker’s daughter Alison, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, were killed in the shooting. The victims worked together at WDBJ, a CBS affiliate serving the Roanoke-Lynchburg, Virginia, television market. A former reporter at the station, Vester Lee Flanagan II – known professionally as Bryce Williams – allegedly shot the co-workers. He later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.
“I’ve been alternating between the shock and the grief of it,” Andy Parker told Fox News. “I’ve been holding up I guess OK, but I’ve been crying my eyes out all day long. It’s gone back and forth, and now it’s … the anger is starting to creep in there, because this should not happen. It shouldn’t have happened to someone like Alison."...

What is it going to take to legislate for the protection of citizens, a loss in every family? 

The reaction from family of the dead is always the same, "What was I thinking when I opposed gun regulations?" It doesn't matter where the shooting has taken place or who was the victim, the family always wants to end the gun violence in the USA.

Oh here we go, Mayor Bowers wants everyone to pray and believe in god. Right. 

Since when has CNN gotten to be ludicrous? 

Well, they are holding the next debate. It should be interesting for all the wrong reasons. I'd really prefer CNN not bring up gun violence, regulation and/or gun control, it won't go well.
