9:11Now PlayingYesterday President Obama teamed up with CNN for a gun-control-themed town hall meeting. They brought together both gun and gun-control enthusiasts. Notably absent was the NRA. John Iadarola (ThinkTank), Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show Podcast), and Jayar Jackson, hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“The head of the National Rifle Association’s lobbying arm accused President Barack Obama on Thursday of perpetrating a distraction by taking part in a televised town hall — one his organization did not attend, Media Matters reported.
“He doesn’t support the individual right to own a firearm. That’s been the position of his Supreme Court nominees. That’s been the position of his administration,” Chris Cox told Fox News host Megyn Kelly. “So what are we going to talk about, basketball? I’m not really interested in going over and talking to the president who doesn’t have a basic level of respect or understanding of the Second Amendment and law-abiding gun owners in this country.”
The president ripped Cox’s organization during the event, which was aired on CNN, pointing out to host Anderson Cooper that the NRA was invited to participate alongside other gun enthusiasts as well as gun safety advocates.”*
