Newsroom TV Show, Obama Gun Record Analysis
A segment from the HBO show Newsroom is analyzed for its portrayal of President Obama's record on gun control. The show argues that despite rhetoric from the NRA and conservative media, Obama received "F" grades from the Brady Campaign for failing to pass restrictive legislation. The clip suggests Obama has signed more repeals of federal gun policies than George W. Bush, making him an accidental ally to the gun lobby.
