Costas Stupidly Stands By Gun Control Remarks
— andy

In an interview with New York Times media reporter Bill Carter that appeared in Tuesday's editions, Costas said: "I think most reasonable people think we do not have sufficient controls on the availability of guns and ammunition."

So tell me, super-genius Bob Costas, what new law would have prevented this? It's not like he bought the gun that morning.

And speaking of that morning ...

The night before the killings, Perkins had attended a concert downtown with friends, and Belcher had Â“partiedÂ” at the Power and Light District, police said. It was unclear when they arrived home, where BelcherÂ’s mother was watching their baby. A woman who answered BelcherÂ’s motherÂ’s cell phone Monday declined to comment.
Detectives donÂ’t know what specifically sparked the argument between the couple at home, but a friend of Perkins told The Star that the couple argued around 1 a.m. Saturday when Perkins returned home from the Trey Songz concert and drinks with friends afterward. Belcher was mad she had stayed out so late, the friend said.
Sometime later, Kansas City police talked with Belcher after finding him asleep in his Bentley on Armour Boulevard. Officers determined he was able to drive himself home. Police believe he arrived home about 7 a.m., well before a 9:30 team meeting. ThatÂ’s when the yelling began.
Police said youth, immaturity and financial pressures served as a backdrop. During his college years, Belcher allegedly punched a dormitory window because he was upset over a woman.
Autopsies with toxicology tests were performed on both bodies, but results will take weeks, police said. Investigators believe alcohol may have played a role in the argumentÂ’s escalation.
Police recovered several legally owned guns from BelcherÂ’s home. Investigators were testing each one, and the gun found with BelcherÂ’s body, against shell casings and bullets they recovered.

"Investigators believe alcohol may have played a role in the argumentÂ’s escalation." Shocking, right?

Maybe Costas should call for booze control too.

You know Bobbysoxer Costas would be all for Prohibition, part deux. After all, look what happened to crime during Prohibition. It went DOWN, especially violent crime.

...Why are you all staring at me? Crime would naturally diminish when alcohol is outlawed. It stands to reason.

Right?

Another poster cited an article that Black women are disproportionately represented in the domestic violence stats, especially those in the 20-24 age group who end up murdered.

Why doesn't Costas use this tragic incident to flap his yap about protecting the sistas?

Here in CA we have a 10-day waiting period between when we purchase our firearms and when we can pick them up. Any chance we could pass a law to keep Costas' pie-hole shut for 10 days before he speaks on a subject?

Posted by: John P. Squibob at December 04, 2012 08:00 AM (kqqGm)

Booze control led to gun violence. I like that - very good retort.

People like Costas (and they are legion) want to live in a world with all the rough edges knocked off, full of fluffy bunnies, where the lion lays down with the lamb, and we all pay rapt attention to Bob Costas, or Mike Bloomberg, or whatever other motor mouth on the boob tube wants to say about anything that they know nothing about.

With them, the appearance of 'security' will always trump the appearance of that nebulous quantity known as "liberty".

28 Hard to surpass the deep intellectual musings of guy with years, nay decades of jock-sniffing experience.

I used to really like football, but, like basketball, it's becoming the finance arm/community outreach division of your unfriendly local street gang. One of these thugs pops his cork and the Costas/Whitlock crowd KNOWS their free gravy/access/hangeron status gets kablooied if they so much as hint at the thug status of some of these goons, so back to the old lefty trope: "This poor boy was getting his life together, but the evil gun made him kill 17 people!"

I tell ya, the leftish crowd is acting like they've won the presidency, all governor seats, the House, the Senate, student council president, PTA chair, and homecoming queen. Now you will shut UP and follow orders, people!

To be fair, it says the guns taken from his HOME were legally owned and registered. That should logically extend to the gun he had on his person, but that's not clearly stated.

33 I certainly don't believe in this, but boooze control would make far more sense than gun control. We live in a world with technology and machines. Banning a gun would never prevent a rage murder when we have access to many destructive things. It would, of course, prevent weaker people, women and the elderly, from being able to protect themselves. If you can't plan to improvise a weapon, like a car, you need to prepare with a pistol. In this way, gun access will always tend towards safety and gun control towards violence. Of course, booze control wouldn't work either. It would only empower the lawless just like gun control does.

46 Ace, I'm glad to see that your recent political postings have taken into account my ideas. I think it shows a lot of intellectual heft on your part, to allow yourself to be influenced by my postings and ideas, and to let yourself be persuaded. Together we have reached the obviously correct conclusions. You're welcome. /lifesmanship I know many of us aren't Erick Erickson's biggest fan (besides his obviously fake name. What is he hiding with such a fake name?!?!). However, his recent post regarding Boehner and Cantor's weapons grade cock sucking and purge of FiCons is important. As I've been articulating since shortly after the election, the RINOs who hold party leadership positions are going down a dangerous path. If they aren't careful, the fractured GOP coalition will break (presuming that isn't their goal.) In some poignant posts that clearly transformed your thinking (or perhaps I had just reached the correct conclusions before you and helped you catch up), I asked you, Ace, concretely: at what point have you been alienated out of the party. I'd like to revisit that, because it was clearly beneficial for your intellectual evolution. Boehner is actively purging FiCons, is open to 800b+ in tax hikes, and has adopted a policy of being a surrender monkey. Key FiCon and SoCon GOP constituencies are approaching outright party revolt/separation. Ace, at what point do you privately break with leadership? Ace, At what point do you do it publicly? You're welcome. No need to thank me anymore than you already have.

Costas is correct. Most "reasonable" people do NOT believe that we have adequate gun control.

That's because most "reasonable" people are, as the article opens with: Idiots.

Most "reasonable" people believe what they see on TV. They believe in ghosts, werewolves, and Snooki. They believe that the Constitution is "living and breathing" without having a clue what they are talking about. They believe that having the government confiscate private property is fine, since it never occurs to them that they have private property. They support the Occupy movement. They believe in vampires. They don't realize that sports are entertainment - including the NFL. They believe that our national debt is a fantasy, if they even recognize the term.

Most "reasonable" people, including Robert Costas, are complete imbeciles. Costas is correct, 100%, at least on that one point.

He was a professional football player. He'd been in the league several years already. He'd just had a baby with his girlfriend. He should have grown up a LONG time ago.

But even so, these are only contributing factors. In the end, Belcher made the decision to pull that trigger on Kassandra and himself. The blame is on him and him alone.

Guns don't kill people... Ray Lewis' friends kill people with knives during a club brawl.

Then Lewis tries to lie about it, before pleading guilty to obstruction of justice and being forced to testify against his two friends.

It was what it was, but the NFL and networks have acted like this stuff never happened, in their attempts to rehabilitate Lewis into some kind of elder statesman/Saint.

Screw the NFL. The whole early coverage of the Belcher murder was a total P.R. push, before the facts could get out. It was all about the league.

Now watch her sue the NFL to get all of Jovan's salary through the end of his contract, and sue his insurance company for his life insurance by claiming that the NFL failed to support him and is responsible for his death. She'sll probably join the players; suit against the NFL on the head injuries, even though there will probably be no evidence that Jovan ever had one.

It's all just a big damn gravy train to these people. I don't feel sorry for any of them.

194 Thinking about this shitstorm that Robert Quinlan Costas started just reinforces that point that the Donks/libs/progressives are the racist ones - look at who they want to keep the guns out of the hands of? Look at the "communities" that they have created with their ideas of "wealth distribution", "gun control", and "getting a piece of the pie"... every one of them a shithole with rampant crime, urban blight and corruption to the nth degree - while little technocrats, like Costas, love to dictate from their ivory towers what we the people should think, do and believe in.

Assclown utopia... that's what they live in...

I find this all so very deeply troubling. All their talk about shotguns, aerial assaults, blitzes, warriors, field leaders, ground attacks, and on and on is very unbecoming.

That's one of the things I *used* to like about the Broco's owner. When I was growing up he was great about not bringing anyone into the community who had a criminal record or history of causing trouble. Lately though, he's relaxed that policy which has resulted in much worse PR for the team as well as not producing the winning that the trouble makers were supposed to supply.

This is almost the apotheosis of liberal thinking: "I think most reasonable people think we do not have sufficient controls on the availability of guns and ammunition."

Look what he did there. He offered no logic, no argument, no facts. He merely assumed that "most reasonable people" think the way he does, and therefore labelling everyone else as unreasonable and, therefore, not worthy to debate on the merits. The science is settled, once again. No debate necessary.

222 There is an account in the NY Post that Belcher spent the night with a certain, Brittni Glass who was a regular FWB for him.
"Hours earlier, Belcher had a boozy dinner with another woman and spent the night at her apartment before going home, sources told The Post yesterday.

After dinner and drinks Friday night at a local tavern, the Long Island native Belcher took the woman, Brittni Glass, to her home, but spent the next several hours asleep in his Bentley outside her building, neighbors said.

After cops roused him from his drunken slumber at about 2:30 a.m., Belcher went inside GlassÂ’ building and re-emerged about four hours later.

Â“I was with him that night, thatÂ’s it,Â” a reluctant Glass told The Post."

I heard Rush call for microphone control due to all the harm they cause: after all they were not imagined by the Founding Fathers so the First Amendment does not apply.

Microphones, said Rush, should have waiting periods prior to use along with background checks for the users so they don't fall into the wrong hands and cause untold harm to the innocent.

No wonder he has a couple bucks.

237 Dead thread, but re: Drew's side thing about this and the culture. There is a good point there that the right cedes "the conversation" to the left because we think it's rude and confrontational and destructive to make every damned conversation and context about politics. But basically the left will go apeshit when challenged on these fronts. This is not going to be cost-free (never is, but we've been able to pretend it can be for a while). There are going to be millions of bitter confrontations, recriminations, breakups and shouting matches if we try to regain some control (or even neutrality) in The Culture. We're going to lose friends and business and opportunities, and we're going to be damned uncomfortable, a lot of the time. And we'll probably all die young of cortisol poisoning. But ceding the culture has got us into a mess we may not be able to get out of even if we do this - and definitely won't if we don't. I don't think Rousseau came up with the toxic combination of grievance / optimism / blind faith / anger / power fantasy on *purpose*, as a devious plan, but the combination is like a mental virus - it obviously satisfies deep human needs as a *plan* that override the fact that it's always a disaster when implemented, sooner or later.

239 I haven't read the comments yet, but the friend was wrong. He was not home when she came home from the concert... he was out with another woman. He passed out drunk in his car outside her place - cop wrote up a report on it - then he went into her place for four hours. So he was out hounding all night and HE came home late. The stuff coming from his friends has been designed to make him sympathetic. They're also the ones claiming he had a history of head trauma. He was a punk. I hope her family sues the ever-living shit out of his estate and gets the baby to raise.
