I'm not sure if Amanda Carpenter is having a great enlightening, or if the events in Parkland, Florida, have hit too close to home as a mother. But either way, there's something startling about having a reliably conservative talking head reject the standard conservative talking points we get after every mass shooting. On the State of the Union panel discussing the gun control debate, Carpenter sounded much more aligned with Jennifer Granholm and Bakari Sellers than her conservative co-hort Andre Bauer.
