Bob Costas: I wouldn’t want to have a gun during a theater shooting
Washington Examiner ^ | December 6 2012 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 12/06/2012 7:26:06 AM PST by 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.”

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

“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.

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.

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

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

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

Two peas from the same pod.

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

Oh, wait.
