Kate Garraway clashed with a guest on Good Morning Britain today over gun laws in the US.
Following on from the devastating Texas school shooting this week, Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard hosted a debate on gun laws in the United States and were joined by Dan Roberts, who is an advocate for gun rights.
However, as they got more into the debate, conversation moved on to the upcoming National Rifle Association conference, which is being held this week, with former US President Donald Trump set to speak there.
Kate then explained to Mr Roberts that Trump's security had requested a ban on guns and other weapons at the conference, as he said: "If it's good enough for Donald Trump to be kept safe with those kind of rules, why isn't it good enough for the nation?"
Mr Roberts then went on to say he had "one correction" before answering the question.
He said: "There is not a ban at the entire conference centre, there is a ban in the room where he will be speaking. And that is not a decision that the NRA or even the building owner has any say on it.
"It's Secret Service policy that's been around for thirty, forty years. It's a policy that's been around for years."
Kate then fumed: "Why isn't that kind of scrutiny not given to the ordinary people in the United States."
However, Mr Roberts appeared to dismiss her comment and insisted the two situations were different, as he said: "You're seriously comparing the former most powerful man in the world to a regular citizen? If that's the case, if it's a valid comparison, then that would mean that people like me would be entitled to a Secret Service detail."
"I'm comparing their rights to have safety, yes," an angry Kate shouted.
Ben could be heard huffing at Mr Roberts' comment, as he shook his head. Kate then went on to add: "I think what I'm saying is the right to be safe is a - why would you not look at that and think there is - it's the value of life that's the same."
Mr Roberts then said he believed his and his families lives were safer because he was armed.
"My life and my children's' lives are safer because we are armed and able to defend ourselves instead to have to depend on hoping that the police will arrive on time if something happened," Mr Roberts said.
