Katie Couric’s gun control documentary “Under the Gun” was released May 15 without any portion of a four-hour interview conducted with John Lott, Jr.

On May 6, Lott tweeted that he had been “interviewed for 4 hours” for Couric’s film and he “bet” that four hours would be reduced to a “select few minutes” of actual screen time.

Guess there must be a lot of closet gun owners who can’t wait to run down to the gun registry office as soon as they can. Or it’s a pack of BS. I’m bettin’ on BS.

“Of the 100 gun owners asked, who would like to have their guns registerd, 100 agreed that registration was a good thing.” That kind of question?
