Spencer Arnold, a 24-year-old Army veteran who came home from Iraq with chronic depression, decided on impulse last May that he'd had enough.

Now Spencer's uncle, actor and comedian Tom Arnold, is speaking out about the tragedy during National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, hoping to rally people to get behind tighter gun control laws and prevent those with mental illness from purchasing firearms.

Cupp passionately sparred with Dan Gross, President of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and Al Sharpton took on Newt Gingrich. Words were exchanged, hands were waved, teeth were gritted, and some people left with their feelings hurt. Cable news punditry is a full-contact sport.
