Andy Parker, father of VA reporter shot on live TV, absolutely nailed it.

On CNN New Day he told Alisyn Camerota that the only thing that will bring about any gun control is to vote Republicans out like they're doing in VA.

1. He's right. I don't know what's wrong with Republicans, but that's the solution.

The vast majority of people in this country want gun control, but the GOP wants their checks to keep rolling in from the NRA even more. Vote them out. If a person is a sane Republican (surely there are some), they must vote for the Democrat.

They do know who voted because you have to show id to get a ballot and be on the voter roll. Without id or name missing from rolls? You'll be given a provisional ballot and have a few days to proven you can vote/show id.

They had Montel Williams who has advocated for sane gun controls, and has, for the past few years, talked and counseled many students who have sufferer from the trauma, but, it believe it was Mike Barnacle, who said, that he should get Presidents, Clinton, Bush, Obama, and form an advocacy group, raise money by getting donations of five dollars or more, from parents and other advocacy groups to the tune of one hundred million dollars, and primary every Republican in office who stands against sane gun control. I like that.
