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.”

Because he is a tool.

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.

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.

“Why is he still talking?”

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Shut UP.

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