Introducing a segment on Tuesday’s NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer proclaimed: “The tragic mass shooting in Charleston has renewed questions about gun control and the gun culture in this country.” He then led into a report by left-wing MSNBC correspondent Ronan Farrow, who the network “sent out to meet the new face of gun ownership.”

Farrow began by declaring: “...these past few weeks have just reminded us again and again of the devastating toll of gun violence for so many around this country....There’s actually a new study out that shows gun owners are predominantly white, they’re predominantly male, they’re over the age of 55 mostly. But what about that next generation of gun owners coming up? Well, I went and talked to them.”
