Gun control
NBC Sports | 12/02/2012 | Me

Posted on 12/02/2012 7:11:30 PM PST by Sporke

During halftime of the Eagles/Cowboys game, Bob Costas read part of an article, by someone, about the problem of our nations "gun culture".

I expect NBC to be wrong, all the time, but I was actually shocked to see them get all political during halftime of my Cowboys game. What asshats...

Don't be surprised. That little peckersniffer did the same thing when he was on "Inside the NFL". Had a one on one with that fat slob Peter King about pros and guns. Very anti 2nd A stuff. They piously informed each other that THEY did not own guns!.

I shouted at the TV: Who gives a Shiite what you liberals think or do?

I thought Costas was a sports caster. Skeet, duck hunting, deer hunting, olympic target shooting - are all legitimate sports activities. Why not talk about domestic violence in rich sports people. Or Black on Black violence. Their agenda is transparent.

Blaming guns for violence is like blaming forks for obesity...

I saw it too and was thoroughly disgusted...he said that if the guy didn't have a gun, two people would still be alive today.

he, however, didn't mention the guy who invaded a college classroom, shot his own father in the head with an arrow, and then stabbed himself to death with a knife. I don't blame the gun, nor the arrow, nor the knife.

Roid rage comes to mind also. The NFL does a piss poor job of enforcing it’s PED rules. Everyone from running backs, linemen, linebackers are 90%+ dirty. You can blame this murder suicide on a lot of things, but the gun isn’t one of them

If the victim had a gun, that person would be alive today.

Excellent point. Would NBC stand behind the fool if he came out with some similarly absurd rant against any of the other 9 Amendments in The Bill of Rights?

The inalienable right to defend oneself (lib lurkers, look up the true, exact meaning of "inalienable") is so important our founding fathers chose to include it specifically in the protections (ie. prohibitions of government intervention) afforded us in The Bill of Rights.

It has been years since I’ve watched anything on NBC and almost as long since I’ve watched an B NFL game. The NFL brand is doomed if they allow this kind of thing during their games.

Same here. A bunch of idiot athletes that make MILLIONS of dollars to play.a.game. Disgraceful if you ask me. I refuse to watch any of it, or NBC for that matter.

The American Revolution began when the British tried to disarm the Colonists.

Fitting that it ends with the Colonists demanding to be disarmed.

From another angle,

Think anybody will comment on if the girlfriend had a gun for self defense?

And yeah, back to boycotting in the previous case, until the network removed Keith Obber-haedcase.
