Westwood Activist Releases Video Asking Movie Makers to Ban Guns From Films
Conservative activist and Westwood native James O'Keefe released a video in which members of his "Project Veritas" ask Piers Morgan and movie production company employees to support banning guns from movies.
Westwood native James O'Keefe released a new hidden camera video through his conservative activist group "Project Veritas" Tuesday.
In the video, members of the group ask T.V. personality Piers Morgan and employees of movie production companies if they will support a fictional group called "Act Against Arms" in an attempt to ban guns from all movies and edit them out of existing movies.
O'Keefe explains in the video the question was "an analogy" to recent comments made by President Barack Obama about gun control.

O'Keefe, originally from Westwood, has been making hidden camera videos since he was a student at Rutgers. He is best-known for his 2009 hidden camera videos of ACORN employees which caused the group to lose most of its funding. He recently agreed to pay a former ACORN employee $100,000 as a settlement over the video.
