Alison Parker's father and boyfriend are grieving, and resolute. They had some strong words for NRA-beholden legislators in this country, and chose to share them on Fox News.

Andy Parker appeared tonight on Fox News, alongside Chris Hurst, the man who Parker had planned to marry, to speak with Megyn Kelly about what kind of person she was.

But at one point, Parker wanted to make it clear that he has some strong views about actually doing something, telling Kelly, “We’ve got to do something about crazy people getting guns.”

He lamented how in a week from now, the news will completely move on and “everybody’s gonna forget” this shooting. But Parker said he spoke with Governor Terry McAuliffe, a gun control advocate, and he told McAuliffe about “shaming legislators into doing something about closing loopholes and background checks.”

Good luck with that. I just don't see how they'll act on behalf of a reporter and cameraman when they won't honor the lives of 20 little elementary school kids.
