The CSGV released this video, in which they contrast Barrow displaying his guns to his constituents with news coverage of the Newtown, Conn. elementary school shooting massacre and the images of some of the victims:
Ed. Note: An earlier version of this post referred to the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence as an anti-gun group. TPM has updated the article to reflect their mission as anti-gun violence. We regret the error.
