During a May 13 appearance on NBC’s Today, Katie Couric previewed her upcoming gun control documentary by claiming a “silent majority” of gun owners want more gun control.
Couric said these things during an interview conducted by Matt Lauer, who began the interview by countering FBI statistics and claiming mass shootings are on the rise. In September 2014, the FBI released a highly politicized study claiming a rise in mass shootings, only to have the authors of the study recant months later and admit they created data to make the study outcome fit a preconceived conclusion.

So Couric undertook a gun control documentary, “Under the Gun,” and says that in interviewing people for the film, she came to the conclusion that the NRA really does not speak for the majority of gun owners. She said, “The NRA only represents five percent of gun owners, so there’s this huge silent majority, and they represent common ground.”
Couric claims that that “common ground” is support for the same kind of background checks that have been demonstrable failures in California, Colorado, Washington state, and Paris, France.

Personally I see Katie as a Beretta Neos kind of girl. Good gun control leads to tighter grouping. Everybody know that.
When the elites and those in power start telling you that you don’t need guns... you will be needing guns.
Propaganda spewed by an aging ho whose career largely depended on her appearance. Anyone who thinks the government can be trusted with a monopoly on lethal force is sub-moronic; the proper way to deal with crime in general would solve the facetious ‘gun violence’ problem- lock up or kill the perpetrators. It isn’t like they were hard to find....
She'd shoot her eye out.
They are so silent that nobody who owns a firearm has ever heard a word issue from their mouths. I go to the local range twice a week, have numerous clients who stop by and talk guns and hunting at work. Kind of odd that I’ve never heard them ask for more gun control!
Surely our esteemed journalists wouldn’t print outright propaganda.
Not a single gun owner I know agrees with Katie.
She is FOS as usual.
