Second Amendment Advocates React to News of Obama's Upcoming Town Hall on 'Guns in America' — and They Don't Hold Back
January 03, 2016
"Obama gonna have a town hall on guns. Maybe he should have one on terrorists."
President Barack Obama, long an advocate of stricter gun control in the U.S., is teaming up with Anderson Cooper for a one-hour live town hall Thursday on gun control at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.
CNN characterized the town hall its airing — titled "Guns in America" — as Obama's "final pitch to the public" on the issue.
CNN added that the 8 p.m. ET town hall nearly coincides with the fifth anniversary — Jan. 8, 2011 — of the shooting of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Arizona, which left six dead and 13 others wounded.
Once word spread about the "Guns in America" town hall, a number of second amendment advocates weighed in on the upcoming program:
No surprise: CNN to help Obama go after our guns.
Wake up. If you believe in the 2nd Amendment, CNN is your enemy. https://t.co/zngaf5RXmG

I wonder who CNN will invite to be in the town hall audience to debate Obama on gun control? https://t.co/yzt9IxlQHy

Over/under @andersoncooper asks @POTUS how many guns his team brought to the town hall to protect him? https://t.co/tPY2dN2LrG

Guessing no Second Amendment advocates will be invited or in attendance. https://t.co/FlXzl09yQw
