President Obama had a town hall on guns last night which was broadcast on CNN. The NRA had been invited to be there, but declined:
.@POTUS can talk about background checks all he wants, but that’s nothing more than a distraction from the fact that he can't keep us safe
— NRA (@NRA) January 8, 2016
.@POTUS doesn’t want an intellectually honest policy discussion. He wanted #NRA to be an audience member at his PR stunt. No thanks
— NRA (@NRA) January 8, 2016
“40 Year Old Virgin” director Judd Apatow insists there’s a different reason the NRA didn’t want to be there:
The NRA didn't attend the Town Hall because there is no logical argument against sane gun legislation. https://t.co/9erCAAs3ZY

Is that so?

The NRA certainly didn’t have to be there in an official capacity to make Obama sound foolish.
@JuddApatow The NRA didn't join the town hall because they'd be punching down to do it..

@JuddApatow @dailykos @LauraClawson They didn't go because they were allowed ONE vetted pre-approved question.

Seems there were some Members of the NRA in audience… Obama didn't like that. https://t.co/885gNUOECa

And progressive Hollywood’s favorite president ever will get to keep the Gun Salesman of the Year title for at least another year.
