Once again proving what a scum sucker she is.

“This was an unnecessary mistake,” the individual told TheWrap. “It did not represent editing someone’s sentences, there was no factual error, this is not a mistake that is a substantive mistake. It could have been avoided,” he said, adding: “This was a poor decision that was made and it involves silence.”

Soechtig also spoke to TheWrap and stood by the editing choice.

“I would never misrepresent someone’s point of view and I don’t think I did by doing this,” she said. “I don’t think I misrepresented gun owners or the people featured in the film.

In an official statement, Soechtig said, “my intention was to provide a pause for the viewer to have a moment to consider this important question before presenting the facts on Americans’ opinions on background checks. I never intended to make anyone look bad and I apologize if anyone felt that way.

She's apologizing because she got caught. I'm sure Lil Katie is devastated about the whole 'accident'.

No, but "porky" and "pukey" apply easily.

Now HBO is trying to compete with Pukey Katie for the prestigious Joseph Goebbels Trophy.

Why does anyone on the pro-2nd side ever agree to be interviewed or part of a "documentary" by these propagandists?  In the age of the Internet, just communicate your position to people directly.  Don't go through the filters and funhouse mirrors of the MSM.  It continues to amaze me that there are people who believe they'll get anything close to fair treatment by these political officers of the Democratic Party.

Seems they even broke FEDERAL law to make the film. Don't look for an DOJ investigation, though, since they're on the "right" side.

Under the Gun director Stephanie Soechtig has proven time and again that she’s both arrogant and intentionally dishonest, but now she’s apparently volunteered that she’s a criminal as well.

It turns out that Ms. Soechtig enticed one of her employees to break federal gun laws.

Our friends over at Ammoland have the details of this self-admitted felony crime.

    In February, The Lip TV  interviewed the film’s director, Stephanie Soechtig, prior to the film’s release. During this interview, Ms. Soechtig openly discussed how she sent a producer of the film, who resides in Colorado, to Arizona to purchase firearms (including three pistols) privately. [original video marker 1.27]

    According to Ms. Soechtig, the producer met a private seller in a parking lot of a local Wendy’s, and in less than four hours and without a background check, obtained a Bushmaster rifle and three handguns.

    It is unknown what happened to these firearms and whether or not they returned with the producer to Colorado. Presumably, this crime was committed in order to highlight what the film’s proponents believe to be current inadequacies federal firearm laws, and to educate viewers on the process for obtaining a firearm. As Ms. Soechtig stated, all of the film’s content was “news to me.” Apparently, existing federal law prohibiting private interstate firearms transfers is also something that will also come as “news” to Ms. Soechtig and her staff.

    Under current federal law it is a violation for any person to transfer, sell, trade, give, transport, or deliver any firearm to any person who the transferor knows or has reasonable cause to believe does not reside in the state in which the transferor resides. (18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(5).) Thus, by asking a private party in Arizona to sell the Colorado producer firearms, Ms. Soechtig and her staff induced an otherwise law abiding citizen to commit a federal crime.  There was nothing legal about what Ms. Soechtig and her staff did, despite their slanted attempt to portray in their documentary the private sale of firearms as unregulated and legal.

    It is also unlawful for any person other than a dealer to transport into or receive in the state where they reside any firearm purchased or otherwise obtained outside that State. (18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(3).) Violations of these laws results in a hefty fine and a felony conviction of up to five years. (18 U.S.C. § 924(a)(1)(D).)  Further, if two or more persons conspire to commit any offense, and at least one person commits an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy, each party to the conspiracy can also face an additional fine and imprisonment for up to five years. (18 U.S.C. § 371.)

Director Soechtig and Under the Gun executive producer and narrator Katie Couric have already admitted on camera fraudulently editing the responses of members of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, which has opened them to the possibility of a civil lawsuits which could cost them dearly.

Public admitting that they’ve broken federal gun laws now opens the possibility of felony criminal prosecution as well.

Were all the lies worth it, ladies?

In a perfect world, justice would be served. But I don't see it happening.
