Bob is still a fool and talked out of both sides of his mouth last night. He said he is not in favor of more gun control and then described making it more difficult for people to get firearms and certain types of firearms and didn't think that was more gun control. :banghead:

You're giving him way too much credit. He's just another typical leftist liar talking out of both sides of his mouth. All of these anti-self-defense nuts, except the most extreme Marxists, say either that they don't want to take away guns or are in favor of "common sense" controls, then tell anyone with a sympathetic ear that their ultimate goal is to get guns out of the hands of citizens.

The incident with the ball player is tragic. He was having problems with his girlfriend over money. Pretty typical for young athletes with expensive friends. Perhaps she was putting demands on him because of the new family addition. We will never know. It's all sad. But it happens to people, and sometimes violence ensues. It can be a fist, knife, gun, rope--any number of things. It isn't the fault of the weapon. It just happened to be there as opposed to a knife or something else. Costas isn't bright enough to understand that the problem was not the weapon but the emotions that flared. He would have been right to do a highlight cameo about the their lives, and perhaps comment about how young folks often do things impulsively that they later regret. Use their deaths to remind young people to step back, take a breath and give the problem a little time. To blame the tragedy on the weapon used is insulting to those of us who have seen family violence in all its forms. His excuse was that he wasn't given enough time to fully explain his position. Wow.

Maybe he's using Gov. Perry's definition of gun control (hitting the target at which you are aiming)? If he's not in favor of folk's practicing proper gun control and hitting their intended targets... then doesn't making it more difficult for people to get firearms make sense? :biggrinjester: j/k

Please don't take this as me agreeing with him, it just kinda popped into my head as a funny.

Really, you think so? I didn't mean to. :lol:

NFL players: Three out of four own guns
David Leon Moore, USA TODAY Sports
NFL players say they need to own guns for protection, and that hasn't changed despite the Jovan Belcher shootings.
Former NFL running back Thomas Jones was always around guns, long before he became a football-carrying member of that unofficial gun club within the National Football League.

As a kid, he and his buddies fired guns in the woods in Big Stone Gap, Va. They'd shoot bottles and go hunting.

His dad had guns.

Jones bought his first gun his senior year at the University of Virginia, and, as a rookie with the Arizona Cardinals a dozen years ago, he learned quickly that guns were an ingrained part of the NFL culture.
I wonder how many players Costas PO'd with that rant of his during one of their games.
