On Wednesday, U.S. District Court judge John Gibney, Jr. shredded the complaint and granted a motion to dismiss. "The plaintiffs' defamation claims fail because the interview scene is not false," Gibney writes. "Under the Gun portrays members of the VCDL not answering the question posed by Couric. In reality, members of the VCDL did not answer the question posed by Couric. They talked about background checks and gun laws generally, but did not answer the question of how to prevent felons or terrorists from purchasing guns without background checks. The editing simply dramatizes the sophistry of the VCDL members."
