Bob Costas: I wouldn’t want to have a gun during a theater shooting

Washington Examiner ^ | December 6 2012 | Charlie Spiering

[theruleshavechanged]

O’Reilly: “Do you want to hit the floor and hope you don’t get shot or have a gun on you that you could protect yourself?”

Costas: “I don’t want a gun on me, no. In that situation, in the dark, in the confusion, I think it’s highly more likely that there would be more carnage – bullets would be flying wildly all over the place.”

[theruleshavechanged]

Why is he still talking?

[headstamp 2]

Because he is a tool.

[Jeff Winston]

I fully agree.

I wouldn’t want Bob to have a gun in that situation, either. A gun in the hands of a total idiot isn’t likely to do any good and may do harm.

On the other hand, a gun in the hand of a trained, capable citizen... well, that’s a very different matter.

[laweeks]

Why doesn’t he just shut up. His pancake mortician’s makeup is starting to flake. He wants to be the next Keith Overbite, and it just might work.

[FR_addict]

“Why is he still talking?”

To prove he is an idiot. He’d rather be shot than have a gun to defend himself.

[AU72]

In the words of Abraham Lincoln, it is better to be considered a fool and not say anything then to say something and remove all doubt.

[facedown]

He is a sniveling coward.

[albie]

He’s right. If he had a gun it would make him shi% his drawers which would make it easy for the killer to find him.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

IIRC, Olberdouche’s first major gig was as a sportscaster. Costas might be onto something...

[N. Theknow]

A gun in Costas’s hand would be like a chimp with a hand grenade.

[Resolute Conservative]

Because this oxygen thief probably has a handful of twenty-thirty year old (the demographic he says should not have access) armed bodyguards. Probably ex-military as well.

I love the duplicity of people with armed entourages that decry gun ownership all the while they are protected by armed citizens (not LEO’s). Basically celebrities and left wing local politicians and disorganizers like “Jesse Free” Meal Jackson. They are above they law when it comes to their protection.

[ScottinVA]

Well, Bob... you are free to piss on yourself and cower behind a seat. A braver soul will take the initiative.

[TADSLOS]

Every time Costas opens his mouth over guns, another American decides to buy one and go to the range. Keep up the great oratory, Bob.

[stuartcr]

Who is Bob Costas and why is he getting so much attention?

[nevergore]

Some people are Zombie slayers, others are Zombie food.....

[C210N]

[bmwcyle]

It is hard to shoot and run like a little girl screaming.

[Little Ray]

I wouldn’t want the cowardly pissant to have a gun either.

[Colonel_Flagg]

The First Law of Holes remains as important now as it was last Sunday, Costas.

Shut UP.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Isn't it about time for Bob to dump his current wife and marry up again?

[Darren McCarty]

Then don’t have one Bob. Just mind your own business.

[Navy Patriot]

Bob Costas: I wouldn’t want to have a gun during a theater shooting

I agree with Costas, except I wouldn't want him to have a gun under any circumstances.

[Obadiah]

Just more anecdotal evidence as to why our military is primarily made up of Conservatives.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

I don’t think Bob Costas is in any danger of becoming zombie chow...

[School of Rational Thought]

Assuming Costas is straight, O’Reilly should have asked whether Costas would want a means to protect himself AND HIS WIFE or not.

You could have bet that his wife would provide some clarity to Costas.

Hey, but O’Reilly prefers to play the fool than ask the tough question.

[TexasCajun]

What a little girly-man! ..wussie!

[SkyDancer]

I think it was Mark Twain that said that.

Also:All the confusion and disagreement surrounding both the author and the wording of this saying led us to suspect that it may be a simple maxim, not attributable to any single person -- which is not to question its wisdom.

[ConservativeStatement]

Costas is the male version of Joy Behar. Stupid and naive yet with an audience.

[ConradofMontferrat]

Or a chimp with an AK!

Zombie’s particulary like Zombie brains.....

They’re very small and bitter....

Like walnuts...

Bob Costas is the Katie Curic of sports.

[Venturer]

“bullets would be flying wildly all over the place.”

Yes: There is no sense in interefering with the gunmans aim as he goes about uninterupted shooting whomever he gets in the mood to shoot. /s/

Much better to just let him run out of bullets and leave.

[nothingnew]

Costas: “I don’t want a gun on me, no. In that situation, in the dark, in the confusion, I think it’s highly more likely that there would be more carnage – bullets would be flying wildly all over the place.”

Hey Costas, most people hit the ground. Be a man and stand up and take control of the situation....oh...yeah...you're not a man. What a pussy.

[crosshairs]

If Bob fired a handgun, he would hurt himself on the recoil. And that’s with a .22

[relictele]

All this time I thought his nonstop talk about pitching and catching was about baseball.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

[Uri’el-2012]

Bob Costas lied to Oreilly six times in a row
and the gas-bag bloviator agreed with bob.

Two peas from the same pod.

[lacrew]

I suppose Bob would oppose arming the secret service, for similar reasons.

Oh, wait.

[Rennes Templar]

Costas is a sports commentator who has recently joined the Owebama media propaganda machine.

[twister881]

The dirtbag also said he didn't want armed people standing in line at the theater, because they would start shooting each other over minor incidents. Boob Cooter thinks the world of Americans, doesn't he? In his Upper West Side lib mentality, we're all just ignorant rubes or street thugs looking for an opportunity to commit acts of violence. Of course, the exact opposite is true — “More Guns, Less Crime” by Prof. John Lott. Would be nice if Cooter were to read Prof. Lott's book, but nobody hold their breath.

[kenmcg]

Big talk from a little guy who probably depends on his armed bodyguard.

[JustaCowgirl]

A gun in Costas’s hand would be like a chimp with a hand grenade.

A very boyish-looking, sniveling little chimp with a hand grenade.

[VRWCmember]

I wouldn’t want Costas to have a gun in that situation either. For myself, however, as well as any of my well-practiced shooting friends, I would prefer that we are armed and prepared to shoot back in defense of ourselves and others.

[dfwgator]

I wouldn’t want Costas to have a gun in that situation either.

Yep, I picture him clumsily trying to load the gun, like Fredo, when Don Corleone was shot.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Costas must live in a gated community.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Tool = fool.

[peeps36]

I wouldn’t want him to have a gun either. Then it would be easier to grab him and use him as a shield against the bullets. If you grabbed him by the neck and back of his pants you could at least cover your vitals with Bobby’s little body.

[Donkey Odious]

That would violate one of the ten laws of gun safety:
“Never give a gun to a monkey.”
