A Virginia gun-rights group is suing Katie Couric and the producers of the documentary Under the Gun for $12 million in defamation over an interview that was revealed to have been deceptively edited.
The Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) and two gun-rights activists featured in the film, Daniel Hawes and Patricia Webb, are suing Ms. Couric, who produced the documentary and led the interview in question, as well as director Stephanie Soechtig, Atlas Films and Epix, the films distributor.
The suit filed in federal court Tuesday, obtained by BearingArms.com, claimed the producers of the film intentionally manipulated footage to make it look like members of the VCDL were stumped when asked about gun background checks.
The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages of $12 million and punitive damages of $350,000 per plaintiff, as well as an injunction against further distribution of the edited footage.

Proud of VCDL and especially Pat Webb, former VA State Coordinator for Second Amendment Sisters, for standing strong and fighting back against Katie “Colonoscopy” Couric, et al.
