He is in the hospital, but apparently hes going to live. The alleged shooter is in custody. Joining me now is van jones and kelly ann conway. Welcome to you both. A fascinating debate anderson had with all sorts of voices on all sides of it, but i cant help feeling everyone is missing the point of the debate. The point is the gun, isnt it . Thats a big part of it. What i saw was a sort of tug of war between two almost theologies. And from my point of view, outsider looking in, seeing a lot of violence on the community level, really both are missing the point. Theres a theological point that the gun folks have that its all about the background checks. The people in the neighborhood are saying, theyre probably avoiding that. At the same time, concern about the assault weapons. From a community level, the conversation seem
