Handguns exacerbate our flaws!

So if Costas had a handgun then he would literally drool on himself and
only schizophrenics would understand his commentary?

There was no apology in there. He went on to say that no citizen except the military or LEO’s should have access to semi-automatic firearms. He’s an idiot.

Poor little guy. What really irked him is that people called for and are calling for NBC to fire him. I wonder what he thought about Limbaugh and his commentary on that quarterback whose name escapes me. I wonder if he thought Limbaugh should be replaced. Maybe he pontificated about that.

Bob forgot who watches NFL football.

I wonder if Costas has his own private armed security.

“Well I give him credit for at least recognizing his error. Most people never do and much less say it to the public.”

He’s not, though. He’s apologizing for not taking *enough* time ranting against guns and that we, in our ignorance and reactionary thinking, misunderstood his wisdom and insight.

You can expect a lot of this over the next few years as libs feel it’s safe to turn everything into an opportunity to push their political agenda. The only way to counter it is with outrage strong enough to remove them or at least make them in fear of their jobs enough to stick to *doing* their jobs.

Anything less lets them feel immune to criticism; and then you can expect it to get really ugly, strident, and nauseating.

So he wasn’t wrong to challenge our Second Amendment rights, he was just wrong to do it without having enough time to make an even bigger ass out of himself.

When I watch SNF, it’s with the sound muted. I’ve been watching the NFL since 1956. There’s nothing left they can tell me.

I think when the govt endorsed the murder of the pre-born and the pardoning of murderers, a significant segment of society devalued human life. That’s where we are today.

Amen. That is the bottom line.

He is the typical obama supporter.

Colin Cowherd on ESPN this AM defended Costas and claimed the police are armed to protect us and the NRA is an extremist right wing organization that drives moderates from the GOP!
