In a related matter, NBC news criticized the NRA video for including an image of "Meet the Press" moderator David Gregory, who prompted an investigation by District of Columbia prosecutors after displaying a high-capacity ammunition magazine during an interview with NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre last month. Prosecutors decided not to file charges.

"NBC News firmly objects to the use of our journalists in any political ad," the network said in a statement. "David Gregory's role as moderator of 'Meet the Press' is to ask tough questions of guests representing all sides of the issues."
