Bryant Gumbel: NRA Are ‘Pigs’, ‘Curse upon the American Landscape’
Pajamas Media ^ | 01/22/2015 | LIZ SHELD

Bryant Gumbel, who is now hosting a show on HBO called Real Sports, dished out some serious smack talk against the NRA in an interview with fabulist rag Rolling Stone.

Gumbel told the magazine the NRA are “pigs” who “don’t care about human life” when he was asked about a segment he featured on the “Eat What You Kill” movement.

“There are a few things I hate more than the NRA,” Gumbel said. “I mean truly. I think they’re pigs. I think they don’t care about human life. I think they are a curse upon the American landscape. So we got that on the record.”

The former Today show host promised that his anti-gun vitriol has no effect on his reporting.

“That said, I’m willing to separate that this story had nothing to do with that. It’s not a gun story,” he said of the “Eat What You Kill” segment. “So I would like to think that I would have done it, but I don’t know. Obviously, that was my first experience around killing and guns and hunting.”

Well, Bryant, it is a gun story. People use guns to hunt. Among other thing, the NRA protects the rights of hunters to pass their family heirloom firearms down to their offspring without whacked-out, ridiculous paperwork and administrative legal barriers.

The NRA has not commented on Gumbel’s remarks.

Brian Gumball should be dumped off in the Alaskan bush with a pup-tent, a 410, and a box of shells.

Come back in a month and see if he survived.

I doubt he sees himself as black. Both he and his brother married VERY white women.

Check the billfolds of the thugs that are shooting people and I bet you don’t find any NRA membership cards.

I can think of quite a few who are exactly the same. They weren’t hired for their brains, just their usefulness. I have a relative in the media who is a good liberal and she falls right in with the narrative. Independent thought is frowned upon, feared even.

It's not trash talk/smack talk if you do it in an echo chamber. It's cowardly.

"Hollywood is so against guns that they should sign a pledge not to use guns in any of their movies."

Better yet is companies like Magnum Research should not allow Hollywood to use the Desert Eagle in their movies without a license. They should notify Hollywood they will come after any studio who shows improper use of their product which is clearly property of Magnum Research.

They should then allow a studio to use the product only after obtaining licensing and paying a fee (substantial) to Magnum Research.

Then Glock, then Barrett Manufacturing, etc. etc.

Bryant Gumbel, effeminate TV host and all purpose jerk, can go kiss off. He can project his own insecurities and prejudices but that does not absolve him from being a monumental and willful fool. This guy is so consumed with himself and such a mouth breathing, knuckle dragging troglodyte, one has to question how he manages breathing at the same time.

Is he still around, he should take some, he needs to read the constitution specifically 2A.

I’d use his comments in a promotional ad. His hate should bump up NRA membership by a few hundred thousand, give or take.
