After Sparking Gun-Control Debates, Bob Costas Is Not Backing Down

i think the story should be about the drunken murder that killed his girl friend, not the gun.

if a person is committed to do a bad thing to himself or others, he will use whatever is handy , baseball bat- gun-knife, whatever is there. more gun control does not make bad things go away. more enforcement of existing controls makes more sense to me.

Costas is an uninformed, uneducated * when it comes to firearms laws and the guns used in commiting crimes and subscribes to the liberal (and often unAmerican) viewpoints characteristic of NBC in general. I shall never watch him again as he blasts off about things of which he is ignorant. At one point I respected him and considered him one of the better sportscasters. He should stick to what he is paid to do-----or perhaps he is!

Who's unejamacated? You couldn't even spell your own name. What's a "Tree Farner"?

I give up. Truly. When Ted Nugent, a DB who had an almost decent guitar solo in 1971, can have a following that understands his incomprehensible, hate filled rhetoric, America is very much in trouble. Keep watching the Fox News. They'll lead you in the right direction. Fear and hatred and divisiveness. What a nice place to live.

I agree with Mr. Costas, a tighter control of all guns should be in place. Guns are not play toys or sport balls to practice with. Easy access always means easy used.

we all know costas is a really smart guy, howeverwhen he says that most peole who own guns are carless and dangerous...you just slammed over 230million gun owners in this country. bob, you may be to smart for your own good. RESEANABLE people would say enough with the gun laws and more parenting and less media.

Ted Nugent is right...the main street media is the one pushing hateful and decisive speech at I might add, Obama's direction. Control is what that Socio path is doing to the PEOPLE and the zombies follow.

costas comments belong on meet the press or somewhere like that not a sports entertain ment show, and besides where was the other side, bob?? evidendly bob costas and NBC doesnt support equal time, so the american people can get both sides of the issue, you know supporting democracy, so bob and nbc damaged and hurt this counrty by not giving both sides of an issue.

now NBC sucks even more than it did last week.

Costos should just stick to being the talking head that reads the sports scores.His opinion on firearms is typical celebrity ignorance.A gun was used by Belcher to kill his girlfriend and himself.But it was Belcher that pulled the trigger.You could just as easily blame steroids and painkillers,or the color of the sky when it happened.It was the act of a man,not an object.The unbearable stupidity of the man is only matched by his arrogance.Costos...just STFU and watch the game.

why can Bob speak against Gun Control at half time of an NFL game but that same NFL would not allow our NFL Players to wear our RED, White , and Blue colors on 9/11 to honor those who died. Instead they gave those players a big fine..Way to go NFL. What kind of fine did Bobby Boy get. Oh yeah. Are they going to take away all the cars from us since that stupid Dallas Cowboy was drunk and killed his team mat.. Hey Bob, Whats your take on that???????

Bob Costas means well, but is ignorant. Using the same logic, we would be without cell phones for sure because if nobody was texting or distracted while driving, we would surely save MANY more lives than banning guns would...and let's ban booze, and just take the cars away too because without cars, people would be safer. Yeah, right.

Drunk driving is a way bigger killer!! Take away alcohol!! It boils down to accountability- why do these NFL stars need to carry guns? Why is he out partying with other women? Why is he not married to the mother of his child? Is anyone accountable anymore? Blame it on the gun- Bob Costas, it's a shame that you have a voice on this matter because you are way out of line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Bob Costas is right on the money and I wonder if Mr. Nugent has considerd that if certain people were not permited to obtain weapons in the first place what would be to blame.

People aren't "Permitted" to keep and bare arms. It is our right and responsibility to do so. Our second amendment protects that right from being infringed upon by dogooders. You have no right to disarm me, thus you have no right to give anyone else the power to disarm any American citizen. Go read your history so you will understand why we must be prepared to defend ourselves from all enemies, foreign and domestic. If you are ready to give up your right, fine. Don't tread on mine!

Bob needs to keep to sports. He is way over his head when it comes to our Constitutional rights. His opinion is fine, but does not trump the supreme law of our land. Don't tread on me, Bob!

As soon as hypocrite Costas get rid of his bodyguard that carries a gun wherever he goes...then he may pontificate, until then shut the uber riche hypocrite liberal up.

More intelligent people, like Bob Costas, need to speak up and get involved so our inept congress will accomplish something.

IT AMAZES ME THAT AUTOMATIC WEAPONS ARE ALLOWED TO BE SOLD TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. I DON'T THINK THEY ARE NECESSARY TO HUNT A RABBIT OR EVEN A DEER.

YOU CANNOT FORCE PEOPLE TO USE GUN SAFES BUT COMMON SENSE DICTATES THAT WE MUST. AT LEAST USE A VALID TRIGGER LOCK.

REQUIRE THAT WE PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF NO CRIMINAL RECORD AND NO MENTAL INSTABILITY TO PURCHASE A GUN

no automatic weapons are sold to the general public,you show your ignorance on something you know nothing about!!
But facts generally does not mean anything to people like you!!
no where in the constitution does it say guns are for hunting, have you bothered to read it!!!
