It’s been a heavy week in the United States this week. Yet another mass shooting took place in Jacksonville, Florida. Three people, Angela Michelle Carr, 52, Anolt Joseph “AJ” Laguerre Jr., 19, and Jerrald Gallion, 29. were killed in a shooting at a Dollar General store. The gunman reportedly left racist writings and used racial slurs before the hate crime.

Russ Parr and Armstrong Williams are on different sides of the debate around gun control. Does this event change Williams’ mind about the subject?

Armstrong tells Russ “No, we need more mental illness. We need to address these people when they put these manifestos online and we know they’re sick, and we cannot do anything about it until they pull the trigger.”

He continues, saying “And unfortunately, it doesn’t matter how successful we are, how wealthy we are, who we are. And we have been in that, in that Dollar General, we would just want another black person that could be shot and killed as a result of his manic racism in his sickness. It’s really pathetic, but regulating guns and think guns are the problem is never going to solve this issue. We have a people problem, not a gun problem.”
