Gun supporters blast Malloy in TV ad

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) The gun industry is running TV ads attacking Gov. Dannel Malloy over Connecticut's gun-control law enacted last year.

A  one-minute commercial produced by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a trade group near Sandy Hook Elementary School where 20 children and six educators were killed has debuted on cable networks.

The ad says Malloy caricatures the industry as greedy and being willing to allow mentally ill people to own guns.

Malloy stood by comments he made last year in a CNN interview in which he said the gun industry wanted QUOTE ``to sell as many guns to as many people as possible even if they're deranged.''
