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.

(excerpt)Under the Gun follows the families impacted by mass shootings in Newton, Aurora, Isla Vista and Tucson, as well as families who experience daily gun violence in Chicago."We don't really question people's right to buy and own guns," said Couric, 59. "We leave the Second Amendment as-is. But what we talk about is how can people buy and own guns responsibly. What measures can we put in place? This is not an anti-gun film, it's an anti-gun violence film. And everybody agrees that violence needs to be reduced."
The documentary also examines the power of the NRA and the difficulties politicians have in creating legislation.

“claiming a “silent majority” of gun owners want more gun control. “
Totally preposterous claim, no way it’s true.
What a maroon!
“I’m a Liberal. I can say anything and no one will dare question me.”
This crap all started with “The Guns of Autumn” by the fake but accurate Dan Rather.
They start out with bias then set about to arrive at a preconceived conclusion.
Much like most left wing media. Ergo, a complete waste of time.
I heard she’s sleeping with Michael Moore, pass it on.
How many Courics does this story rate?
The stupid is strong with this one.
More likely, the “silent majority” wish this kouric fool had severe laryngitus.
Gloves?
Well, duh!
Gun control is critical for anyone that wants to hit what they shoot at.
A good steady eye, squeeeezing the trigger, (one should be surprised when it goes off), hands in a good Weaver stance or a at least a good strong supported grip...all constitute gun control and will help you hit the target every time.
And of course...practice, practice, practice.
Katie should be complemented for her dedication to the shooting sports that led her to making a documentary about gun control.
Hmmm...I wonder what she shoots?

.(This fruitcake limousine-liberal old bat has no idea as to what she's talking about.)
Every gun owner I personally know wants more gun control too... But to me that means hitting what I am aiming at every single shot... I hate wasting bullets!
Liberals are always claiming that only THEY know what the “silent majority” want and for some strange reason, those people always agree with liberals.
I’m not saying it is moral, but the only way these “News”/Hollywood types are going to get the message to stop attacking out rights is when some of them are bumped off.
Again, I’m not saying it’s right. I’m just saying that’s the only way and it is inevitable unless they smarten up soon.
100%... just like gloBULL warming
Violence is violence. Does it matter what tool is used to commit violence? How many times is a gun used to prevent violence and save a life?
Ya. The “silent majority” of the dead ones
Katie Couric should think about putting down the crack pipe.
