Bob Costas says that Jovan Belcher and his girl friend would be alive today if he didn’t have access to a gun.  This is probably one of the dumbest arguments I have ever heard from the anti-gun crowd.  A person that wants to kill someone and then himself will not be thwarted just because guns disappeared tomorrow.  What about the person that jumped off a bridge?  Should we outlaw bridges?  What about someone that smothered someone with a pillow?  Let’s outlaw that.  I could go on and on.

Every day, there is a story of someone that protected themselves from some nut job because they were armed.  Recently in South West Florida, a home owner caught two people trying to steal a water pump from his home.  One was armed with a knife and the other with a pipe.  The home owner had a gun.  Guess who took off running?  The home owner, exercising amazing restraint, didn’t fire at them but only at their car.  I would have shot them both square in the head, but that’s just me.  Maybe this guy realized he would be the one prosecuted!  See the article I was interviewed for recently and you’ll see the problems that can come up with self defense.

We really need someone to stand up to Bob Costas and these other anti-gun wing nuts.  I would like to see the NRA and other groups step up to this nonsense but I realize its hard to get air time with the way the media is.
