On the March 20 episode of Real Time With Bill Maher, NBC Sportscaster Bob Costas laughed off criticism of his many pro-gun control comments and added to them by asking if people really believe the Founding Fathers wanted private citizens to purchase cop-killer, armor-piercing bullets and an AK-47″?
Maher opened the door for Costas to do so by citing topics Costas has spoken on gay, guns, head injuries and suggesting Costas has to talk about these things because not other sportscaster or broadcaster is doing it.
The focus then turned to Costas April 2014 suggestion that athletes cant be trusted with guns, a rant in which Costas lamented our gun culture and the sorry incidents that happen because athletes own guns.
In reiterating these points to Maher, Costas pointed to NFL defensive end Greg Hardy, who just got signed with the Cowboys but sat out most of last year because he was involved in a domestic violence case, which is prevalent in the NFL, and dominated the news last season. The only link Costas could make between the domestic violence case and firearms was that Hardy threw his girlfriend on a couch with loaded shotguns and assault weapons on [it].
Costas was so absorbed in criticizing guns that he failed to note that guns werent used in the acts he was attributing to Hardy. Rather, the violence his girlfriend faced was allegedly committed with Hardys own hands.....

Yes. Yes they did, Bob.
Could this leftist midget possibly STFU?
Costas will be the first to go when the SHTF.
I take comfort in knowing that.
Our founding fathers also invented the internet Bob Costos ... Sarcasm
Bob, did the founders want you to stupidly run your mouth freely on television?
After all, the “press” meant hand cranked printed newspaper.
That private citizens should be able to purchase british-killer, redcoat piercing bullets? That you should be able to have a flintlock?
The answer is yes.
good one!
The 2A wasn’t written to guarantee our rights to rubber bullets.
Yeah, flintlock muskets never killed anybody...
They literally would have killed to get them for their countrymen.
Of course they did! They thought every person should be able to protect themselves up to and including a tyrrantical government.
What the Founders wanted is generally reflected in the Constitution.
People like Bob Costas should be asking, “Why is the President allowed to be both lawmaker and executor which is against the Constitution and is by definition tyranny?”
Maher of course goes nowhere without armed bodyguards. He is special.
considering the founders were actively shooting the british ‘cops’, probably yes.
the founders also wanted every man to have a standard infantry issue weapon in their home (a musket)
they also believed it was perfectly ok with private citizens owning CANNONS!
the same cannon that can still blow a hole clean thru a home today. no problem, as far as the founders were concerned
I vote we call them Bunny Killers, or Fluffy puppy killers, or something else.
Gee, considering that the US contracted private individuals for their ships with CANNONS, Bob, your are a complete idiot!
I’d just as soon go with Commie Killers.
Especially in a bugs bunny cartoon...
