Fish&Fowl Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Did anyone else just watch this!? He came right out and blamed handguns for the murder/suicide tragedy in Kansas City. Absolutely sickening! I just wrote my disgust on the SNF facebook page, and to my surprise I was not the only one, many had wrote already. If you feel strongly about this I urge you to do the same and pass the word, we do not need this kind of thing to become the norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vman11 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 This too got me riled up.According to him guns and the public's access to them made this happen. Not the people behind them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleFloyd Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Yeah, I thought it was terribly inappropriate for him to take that tragic event and use it to promote a personal agenda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Buck Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Yeah I doubt this NFL player bench pressing 425 pounds, I really doubt he could've strangled her to death, so Bob come live with me, Friday night had a really suspicious vehicle lurking in the shadows near midnight, wife and I were finishing a movie, we're the only ones on the road, the 12 gauge got loaded just in case, hoping it was high school boozers but today you never know there's a few driving these mobile meth labs in our county we're hearing, I just don't want to be sitting there unable to defend my family either Bobby. I think most of the blame needs to go to the individual who pulls the trigger Robert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Buck Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hold on new Reality TV...........Bobby C. Goes to Cicero to collect firearms on Friday night at Midnight in dimly lit neighborhoods. He's got this great idea, this idea is poor, like everyone gets but he won't be involved in the ground work of getting it done, someone else right Bobby can go risk their life while I rock Rockefeller central. Must be Big City pollution that gets to some of these guys, they forget where there wheaties come from. I'd watch Robert in Swat gear collecting firearms from hard core criminals in a second. His bullet proof gear would look like swiss cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard53 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Unfortunately, thinking of gun control as a conservative vs Liberal issue is like locking your front door and leaving all your windows open. It's gotten way bigger than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordie Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Wonder if Costas would blame NFL football for the death of the Minnesota Viking at training camp some years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANOPY SAM Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Just to be clear, Bob is quoting the writing of a Kansas City author of some type. He clearly says he doesn't always agree with what the author "Whitlock" (?) says, but he does seem to agree with "this" article...which is what he is "reading aloud" during the broadcast.Also, he (Bob Costas) certainly didn't create this segment of the broadcast on his own. This was done with the writers, producers, owners, and teams consent from all the NFL, and NBC sports. To point fingers at Bob in this is simply foolish, and short sighted.I'm not defending the broadcast, but I am not opposed to it either. There will always be anti gun folks out there. It's a fact of life. There are certainly way too many inner-city, gang-related, senseless shootings, but banning hand-guns will not put a stop to that.Education, respect, and appreciation for the lives of fellow man will go a long way to curbing senseless violence. But it's a nearly impossible task to educate people who don't want to be educated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANOPY SAM Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Yep. If I were in "that" tax bracket I'd definitely be following the Democratic party...not!Not that this has anything to do with this thread, but just for the record, these are the folks that Pres. Obama wants to stick a higher percentage of the taxes with. Ever wonder why he's not getting much support for this reform from the Republican side?

lawdog Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I emailed both the NFL and NBC voicing my displeasure with this garbage during the broadcast. Not surprisingly I heard nothing back from either organization... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
