(CNN)One day after reporter Alison Parker, 24, and her cameraman, Adam Ward, 27, were gunned down on live television in Roanoke, Virginia, Parker's boyfriend said merely remembering their lives is not enough.
"There needs to be some action that is taken out of an event like this -- out of an event like Sandy Hook, like Charleston, like Aurora, Colorado... where these things just don't occur anymore," Chris Hurst told CNN on Thursday, citing a litany of American gun violence.
"We need to have a substantive conversation on what is going on in America that is allowing evil to continue to crop up over love? Is it because we are in the media? And the attacker knew this was going to get a lot of play, and here we are again, another mushroom cloud of coverage over gun violence?"

How ‘bout we do a “dialogue” about a racist homosexual wanting to start a race war. We can do the gun thing later if we have time.
If a government bureaucracy can keep that guy from buying a gun, it can keep any law-abiding citizen from buying a gun.
African-American Gay Newsman Kills Two Unarmed White Twentyagers
Waiting for this headline from the News Cartel.
Okay, your turn.
I guess if a drunken illegal alien had killed his girlfriend on the highway with a vehicle, all we’d be getting right now would be crickets.
“I believe that the person he needs to “dialog” with has assumed room temperature. “
He held a joint news conference with her father. The father was visibly shaken. The dude was TOTALLY unemotional.
If I were in that situation I wouldn’t even be able to get on TV. It would be family only.
“Arm yourself, dude.”
The very same morning here in Indy, a guy stabbed his wife, got in his car, drove downtown, and ran over 5 or 6 people in 5 different places.
Perhaps we should have a dialog on knives and driving vehicles.
Sandy Hook: guns banned by law. Charleston: concealed carry permit does NOT allow carry into churches. Aurora: the only theater in the vicinity which had a stated no-firearms policy. What these places had in common is that an ordinary citizen who was carrying a gun under the law would not be allowed in those three places. If you want to change something, start with that.
I have attempted to determine the gun policies at the Bridgewater Plaza, without success. If anyone can point me to whether guns were allowed or prohibited there, I'd appreciate it.
Twentygers?
Thank you.
Yes, this bothers me, and I might add that he was showing their scrapbook to the TV news crews in front of his house. I mean, what’s up with that? And the bright clothes? The day his girlfriend was shot to death? I guess we should cut him some slack, but -
No, “twentyagers,” like teenagers only older. It’s a great word.
His fifteen minutes are over.
Excellent.
He could have killed them with a knife, rock or pointy stick. I’m sorry for your loss. Dialog over.
Upon further review, you’re right. He was crazy but not in a clincal sense. No way to detect that. Our constitution guarantees the right to keep and bear arms and that means some crazy people will, too. And sometimes they will use them to do crazy things, just like they’ll use a car or other instruments of destruction to hurt innocent people.
I stand corrected, thanks.
Crazy will find a way to kill.
Dallas, today. Drugged up wild man is dead after an altercation with police.
He had a box cutter. Just as lethal as any other weapon when applied in a rage.
The problem isn’t gun violence. It’s violence driven by drugs and mental illness.
Guns are just another tool.
