"Hey Bob, OJ Simpson didn’t use a gun. Just say’n . You are a hypocrite POS. Tell him he can’t say something on the air…and the twerp will run and hide behind the first amendment. But the second amendment, thats just plain bad. Sorry Bob, you liberals don’t get to pick and choose which constitutional rights are enjoyed by us and which are not. Costas says, if Jovan Belcher didn’t possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today. Well I say , If Barack Obama wasn’t president and Eric Holder wasn’t attorney general, Brian Terry would be alive today”. MC
NBC Sportscaster Bob Costas took a detour from his usual discussion of athletics during Sunday Night Football to lecture his audience on gun control.
Discussing the shocking murder-suicide that rocked the NFL over the weekend, when Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher fatally shot his girlfriend and then committed suicide in front of his coach and general manager, Costas argued that domestic disputes are more likely to end in such a fashion if the government does not limit people’s access to firearms.
Costas said:
Writer Jason Whitlock, with whom I do not always agree but today said it so well that we may as well just quote or paraphrase from the end of his article.
Our current gun culture, Whitlock wrote, ensures that more and more domestic disputes will end in the ultimate tragedy, and that more convenience-store confrontations over loud music coming from a car will leave more teenage boys bloodied and dead.’
Handguns do not enhance our safety. They exacerbate our flaws, tempt us to escalate arguments, and bait us into embracing confrontation rather than avoiding it.
In the coming days, Jovan Belcher’s actions and their possible connection to football will be analyzed. Who knows? But here, wrote Jason Whitlock, is what I believe: If Jovan Belcher didn’t possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today.
