31 Pro-Gun Legislators and the NRA Run Away from the Press.
Why? Because their positions are indefensible and they want so much to distance themselves from this carnage. Please don't give me the BS that they don't want to make this tragedy political. You can bet it will be political to the families of the dead.

(17,502 posts)the Morgan guy on CNN that invited them only to be lectured by some talking head, but didn't let them say anything. If that's the case, I would have told them to fuck off too.

Are you saying he could not find another network to speak up on?

One network interview does not make an indictment of a media.

(2,038 posts)Morgan would get absolutely schooled by Lott one-on-one so he had to call in two anti-gun advocates to help him out. Dishonesty at its finest.
