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.....

Yep! and grenades too!
Yes because they ensured Bob’s right to whine about it.
Of course right now at current prices they rightfully should be called Wallet Killers.
What, bullets couldn’t kill cops in 1787?
In 1776, a “cop killer bullet” was literally any bullet as cops didn’t have ballistic vests. And yet, the founders were okay with it.
nullum delictum, nulla poena sine praevia lege poenali
LOL :D
Okay. I'm good with that.
Did the Founder’s stake their lives and fortunes so fairyass “sports reporters” could prognosticate on things they know nothing about?
Damn right. Those are just made-up terms to make things sound scarier than they already are to the willfully, woefully ignorant, Bob.
Yes.
Bob, 70% of the Cannons used by the Patriots in the Revolutionary War were Privately owned.
I wonder if those Cannons would be considered “Cop Killers”?
Idiot. What does he think an .80 caliber round ball would do to someone that it hits?
You bet your sweet ass they did, you pathetic jockstrap sniffer.
Yes, they knew very well what they were doing, and they meant exactly that.
Well, if they knew what ISIS looked like coming at you, I’m sure they would be okay with bullets which would stop them DEAD in their tracks.
Okie dokie
Exactly.
Yeah, no kidding.
Did the founders intend for the police to have armor?
Hey Bob, did the Founders really want us having opinionated, egotistical asses pontificating ignorant views over a system capable of reaching more people than were even alive when the First Amendment was argued and written? I don’t think so, you Mr. Costas are no longer allowed to use a system capable of launching mass illogic bombs and freedom piercing hyperbole! Stuff that in your one red left shoe and smoke it.
