President Obama has called for action on gun control following the "senseless" shooting in a black church in South Carolina. "At some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries," Obama said. "And it is in our power to do something about it." "Democracy Now!" is joined by two guests: Colin Goddard, survivor of the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre that left 32 people dead and now a senior policy advocate at Everytown for Gun Safety, and Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock, senior pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, which was the spiritual home of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
