Promising to air “all sides” in their ongoing series “Voices Against Violence,” Monday’s CBS Evening News featured its second installment with gun control activist Andy Parker, who used the occasion to blast the “cowards” at the National Rifle Association (NRA) for “blocking...sensible gun legislation.”

Anchor Scott Pelley first explained that the debate over “gun violence is the subject of our new series ‘Voices Against Violence.’” Adding that the network plans will be “hearing from all sides of the issue,” Pelley introduced Parker: “Tonight, the father of Alison Parker, a reporter for WDBJ, our CBS station in Roanoke, Virginia, who was murdered alongside photographer Adam Ward.”
