Ronan Farrow spent time with Nick Leghorn from TTAG back in May for this segment. You can see the "BTS" write-up from TTAG here: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2015/05/foghorn/an-afternoon-shooting-with-nbcs-ronan-farrow/

It was interesting. Matt Lauer clearly not happy with that segment getting voted on.

Of course not.

He seems to think these people share the collective guilt for "gun violence".

I hereby challenge Matt Lauer to show us a gun that is, of its own volition, inherently 'violent'.

Matt Lauer is so far to the left he makes Hillary look like a teahadist. A real limousine liberal. And, I am pretty sure his bodyguard has more than a TASER.

I wonder if there wasn't some off camera conflict between them after that segment. Something along the lines of "Ronan you were much too happy about this dreadful awful topic..."

Good video, thanks for posting it DC-W.

Glad to see when the media shows gun ownership for what it is, first and foremost - and not a political statement.

I'm really surprised that this segment snuck past Lauer and the NBC censors and politburo.

They will undoubtedly redouble their efforts, to make up for it.

Or, if intentional, maybe they wanted to show their viewers the "new enemy" to devise a strategy to counter them.

I sure am glad I only have nice guns, not violent ones.

They are running scared and trying to play both sides...its expected behavior..

so a video where someone with a gun isn't a psychopath or a criminal... on NBC..... with suppressors....mind blown...

i can relate the the folks in this video. at the age of 26 i knew everything i did about guns because of video games and Wikipedia. I have learned immensly more after owning them, and joining this forum, but there is a lot of truth to the sub 30 crowd, who needs to be convinced that guns are okay if we want to keep them legal in America and don't want the 2A going away, that are more urban, and haven't been raised around guns, but want to learn.

these are the same people who are pro gay marriage, pro legal weed, and are used to diversity of gender, creed, race, sexual orientation. I think it is something that the over 30 gun folks need to not only understand, but embrace.

Let's just fixate on the pro legal weed part.. Any idea what kind of like um PR like um thing..huh.. Let's shoot some stuff.. Oh snap that was loud.......

No shit... There are only a few true disasters that can hurt us. Public advocacy of guns and pot is one of them.

Thanks for this. Good link to forward to others who have never held a firearm, followed up by a trip to a nice indoor range. :thumbsup:

I have three that looked like those that appeared in Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. Those are the most dangerous of all. :rolleyes:

If firearm owners were as violent as the grabbers think we are, there wouldn't be any anti gunners left..

Using "anti" logic, to the extent anyone wants to call it that, I have to wonder.

What is more violent? Gun owners? Or their EBRs?

If people weren't worried about their guns getting loose and committing random acts of violence, why to they keep them locked up in steel boxes?
