The NRA: Could they get any more obnoxious?


CNN host Piers Morgan's interview with Second Amendment Foundation founder Alan Gottlieb went from tense to combative on Monday after Morgan caught Gottlieb seemingly blowing off a statement from the daughter of a victim of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting.

As Morgan read a statement from Erica Lafferty - whose mother, principal Dawn Hochsprung was killed along with 20 children during the attack - calling the foundation's "Gun Saves Lives Day" event a "disgusting political stunt," Gottlieb shook his head and smiled.

"Why are you laughing?" Morgan asked Gottlieb.

"Because that's totally over the top," Gottlieb answered. "That's not what our intent was. It's not what anything we were going to do was."

"Wait a minute," Morgan interjected. "You plan a campaign to promote the good side of guns on the first anniversary of the worst mass shooting at a school in American history, and you have the gall to laugh when I read out a quote from one of the victims' families? How dare you?"
