When the NRA told Gregory they were coming on to sell this. I knew this was it. I firmly believe MTP has no control on who comes on the show. They are told. It's a shame. They know this touched a lot of us and it would take more than the usual statements, they need all the media behind them. And a big interview on MTP. They will do articles on how Gregory grilled him, but let's face it, he was able to get his message across. It's all theater.
