It's a perfectly legitimate answer.

Why do you want people who are too dangerous to own a firearm to run free in society?

If they're too dangerous to have a gun, then they're too dangerous to have a knife, baseball bat, tire iron, etc and they shouldn't be allowed in public at all.

ISIS sympathizers appreciate your opinion. So does the domestic abuser just released from jail.

Pre-LaPierre NRA (1991) members know it's BS.
Lol, there have been many many unconstitutional attempts to use Jim Crow tactics to limit gun ownership.

Everything from bullet taxes to intentionally obstructive licensing requirements to outright bans.

Really, it just breaks down into a rural\urban issue and thus splits along party lines to some extent.

Guns have been a convenient excuse for high murder rates in urban areas where the politicians in charge are looking for a cheap and easy scapegoat.

Because after you throw people in housing projects with crap schools, poor access to jobs etc. and they turn to crime and violence.....it's important to blame somebody else....like those rural redneck republican gun types.

At what point in America did it become acceptable to deny someone's constitutional rights because of what you think they might do?

How about we apply that same logic to voting?

Oh and you didn't answer the question...
Why do you want people who are too dangerous to own a gun to be let loose in society?

Couric is a Progressive. She is, by definition, a dishonest hack.

BS, bullet taxes, OMG they're taking our bullets away! The outright bans are for ridiculous assault guns and others ideal for mass murder.

Scapegoating guns and blaming rednecks to take attention away from inner city crime? Why? That's more made-up BS to motivate gun buyers and Republican politicians.

Katie Couric deliberately misled viewers in her piece. She deliberately tried to manipulate her reporting to fit her personal views and narrative. This kind of yellow journalism is the reason many American people don't trust the mainstream, liberal, lying press and Katie Couric specifically. To trust them to tell the truth is stupid.

Another bad journalist who claims to be a professional.

I'm glad she is,exposed for what she really is.Audio shows Katie Couric documentary deceptively edited interview with pro-gun activists | Fox News
I don't think ANYONE who is honest, doesn't know how liberal she, and most of the major media is.
