Bob Costas is Dead Wrong

3 Fishing Boats that are (Still) Priced Reasonably

As you read this, know that by the time you finish, that somewhere in America a fellow citizen will use a gun to stop a crime and save a life.

Opining on the Kansas City Chief football player who murdered his girlfriend and then blew his own brains out in front of his coach, the otherwise great sports announcer, Bob Costas, blamed the murder/suicide on easy access to guns. He lives in a strange fairyland of ignorance and denial.

If there was a free speech penalty for blundering ignorance, a penalty flag would have been tossed at Costas.

Just as we shouldn’t blame forks for obesity, pencils for spelling mistakes or water for drowning, trying to blame access to guns for the murder/suicide in Kansas City is juggling chainsaws, woodchipper diving bizzaro logic.

But that’s how horribly out-of-touch with reality liberals like Costas are.  Unless backed into a corner where there is no other choice but to admit that an individual is responsible for their actions, liberals will refuse to place the blame on the shoulders of the individual who did the deed or actually committed the crime.  In this case, Costas blamed access to guns for the murder/suicide, not the murdering suicidal maniac.

And therein lies one of the fundamental problems with America.  We have created a culture of rot where excuse-making punks have been conditioned to blame anything and everything on something other than the perptrator.  Apparently, Mr. Costas is one of them.

The ugly reality is that in a free society there will be those few zombies who fly off the rails of personal responsibility and murder others.  But arguing to ban guns to prevent these uncontrollable ugly acts of irresponsibility when 99.99 percent of gun owners are responsible is no way to run a free and just society.  Serious minded people grounded in reality understand this most basic truism.

What Costas didn’t say and possibly know is that two million Americans use guns each year to defend themselves from punks and thugs.  Access to guns saves who knows how many lives each year.  How about that, Mr. Costas?

Just a few years ago, a drunk NFL football player ran over a guy and killed him.  As I recall, the player paid off the family of the deceased and only did 30 days in the slammer.  Where was Costas on this?  Did he opine that easy access to alcohol and automobiles was responsible for this death?  To those liberals who want to restrict or ban access to guns, do you also support banning booze because drunks kill roughly 12,000 Americans each year in drinking and driving slaughters?

Reality is much different than liberal fairyland pseudo-logic.  There are hundreds of millions of various guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans that are the source of zero problems. There are also a few guns in the hands of irresponsible, often paroled gangland punks, who commit various crimes including murder.  I would much rather deal with that than to further muzzle and restrict freedom.

My recommendation is to not trust any fuzzy-headed goofball who would deny another person the right to defend themselves or the fundemental right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  Should an individual such as Bob Costas choose to be unarmed and defenseless, that’s his choice but we must not allow his limousine liberal toxic views to become center-stage.

We have more than enough gun laws in America.  Another law or restriction would not have prevented the Kansas City Chief murderer from killing his girlfriend or himself.  That’s the ugly reality that Bob Costas obviously refuses to embrace.

Freedom rocks.  Let’s keep it that way.
