OReilly: Do you want to hit the floor and hope you dont get shot or have a gun on you that you could protect yourself?
Costas: I dont want a gun on me, no. In that situation, in the dark, in the confusion, I think its highly more likely that there would be more carnage bullets would be flying wildly all over the place.

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.

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

A gun in Costass hand would be like a chimp with a hand grenade. A very boyish-looking, sniveling little chimp with a hand grenade.

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.

I wouldnt 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.

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.

Son, we ALL already knew that. And NONE of us want it either.
If you ask for a show of hands how many want a gun in Bob Costas’ hands, the count would be zero, zip, non, niet, nada.

Actually, we could quote the Holy Ghost:
Proverbs 17:28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
Proverbs 29:11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
Proverbs 29:20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

Bob Costas. Proud, vocal potential victim.
I hope the bad guys are taking note.

I dont want a gun on me, no. In that situation, in the dark, in the confusion, I think its highly more likely that there would be more carnage bullets would be flying wildly all over the place. Translation: I am too much of a worthless and helpless fool and idiot to know what to do with a gun if I had one.

You'd just "spray and pray". Thank you for your honesty.
