(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?"

dear ePlur,
re: This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hit the big-time!
If he were the type to take his victimization, and capitalize on it.
> How about gay violence? How about black violence? That is what the discussion needs to be about.
The left; completely mental.
My sentiments precisely. Well stated.
Our answer is NO.
Could that have been so that they wouldn’t be skeeved by their boss being gay himself? Maybe they wanted guards who would be loyal no matter what they were witnessing? Though I don’t think Ambassador Stevens was enjoying a life full of “action” out there in Libya.
Let’s talk about phsycotic gays and how many are serial killers.
Most people have neuroses. If the political/regulator class wants more laws against neurotics having firearms, fine. We’ll have everyone checked and documented forever with no civil remedie$ (briberies through courts) for the more equal animal$. Class-based gun control is foolish, and it will backfire.
Otherwise, accept the fact that sometimes, horrible crimes like murder are committed and cannot be stopped. Murderers who plan their crimes in advance obviously attemp to surprise their victims, and they could just as easily use many different kinds of weapons other than firearms.
The political chatterers should grow up and realize that utopia will not happen. With the chatterers’ penchant for legalizing immorality, it will get worse with or without gun control.

Excellent message from 2013 is still relevant ....
This fella keeps saying the strangest things.
Has it occurred to anyone that the Murderer was never called to account for his Mental Issues because:
1. He was Black?
2. He was Homosexual?
3. He was a Liberal Democrat?
Well, that screams crazy to me anyway.
He was like those Kids that get passed to a higher Grade when they were actually flunking school. Don’t dare embarrass them by making them stay back a Grade.
It appears his previous Employers had issues with him but they never involved the Authorities and they just told any new Employer who called for a Referral that he was OK.
Don’t want to get Sued you know.
No spirituality, no morals - that is what is wrong with people. Gun control penalizes good people, but not criminals.
End of dialog.
What law could have prevented this?
Not a single one other than an outright ban.
Looking for a political angle before the funeral.
Disgusting.
if sparky knew (considering he has worked there for a while) this idiot was out there why didn't he get a gun and protect her? Dipsh!t
Just don't say midget, For the love!
He wants us to kill any armed blacks or gays we encounter? He must be a racist like the dead women he failed to protect was.
Good thing they'll never have equally weak kids.
