Bob Costas decided to use his air time to rant against the evils of guns and started quoting Jason Whitlock.
“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.”
Current gang gun culture ensures more domestic disputes because these individuals are highly inclined to try to hurt each other by any means. These are not church members we’re talking about.
Handguns absolutely enhance my safety the moment I have one, am trained to use it, and are fully willing and ready to use it in defense of my home and family. That right there enhances our safety.
If I am sitting in my own home I have not sought out confrontation but will press for it if a threat is perceived.
Lastly, if Belcher didn’t have a gun there is no possible way you can argue that he and Ms. Perkins would be alive today. That’s is horse-crap argument and is factually fallacious on several levels.
This is how your gun rights will be taken from you – one unwasted tragedy at a time.
Bob Costas has been on my sh!t list since his push for female sportscasters in male locker rooms. When asked why men couldn’t go into female locker rooms, he said some stupid comment about that being a double standard, further convincing me that the guy has a mediocre grasp of the English language at best, or thrives on hypocrisy at worst. I’m pretty sure it’s the latter.
As far as Whitlock goes, he contradicted almost everything he had written about gun control with that last spiel. I do wonder what agenda he has.
I see nothing wrong with male reporters in women’s locker rooms. What could possibly go wrong?
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Point is, men had to make concessions in the liberal land of fairness. I know you get what I mean. But women should NEVER have been allowed in the men’s locker rooms.
My favorite was the reporterette with the spray-on, camel toe jeans who sued the Jets for seckshul harassment . She wears hoor-wear into a locker room of mostly nekkid, testosteroned 20something year olds and acted surprised when they waggled their line-men at her.
That was darn funny.
As for the post, nice try but ATC aleady got the 30,000+ hits you’re trolling for.
Ok, that really is funny, veesh. Please consult your dictionary and look up troll. You are hereby banned again for actually being a troll again.
And no that wasn’t “I know you are but what am I?”
Costas is a nothingburger and football no longer interests me.
This DOES interest me and it will probably interest you as well: Girl Genius iPhone, iPad, Android game. WOOT! I’m making a donation!
Spam bucket alert.
You too?
In LK’s defense, you probably deserved it.
Maybe, maybe not. It must be pretty indiscriminate given how few times you get spambucketed.
And I’m still in the spam bucket. *Tap tap tap* Hello? Is this thing on?
Ready to join me in my boycott?
I may have to veeshir. Ever since the remodel began the service in this joint has been lousy. Two days in the spam bucket and he hasn’t even taken my drink order.
Well, you two caught me in a lucid moment Saturday morning after haven drunk a chocolate milk the night before – it is a one-way trip to migraine city.
I was aware of your whinges but totally unable to dredge up the micro-give-a-shits caring that could animate my body to form a response of alertness and to put on a face that says “I care”.
Migraines really suck ass.
And now that a Dallas Cowboys player was involved in a DWI and in the death of his teammate and friend, I wonder if Costas will advocate for banning cars.
