the david package and eat the same dot com welcome to the gate happened felt by
and let you closing an alternative
further three-letter
news networks
and the four-letter words that you should be saying after watching the
three-letter news networks because of the sheer nonsense that's happening
louis that's right it's it's bad news over there excuse the pun
we talked yesterday about this story involving kansas city chiefs
job on belcher who
i don't know if allegedly is the right word that is legally were still supposed
to say allegedly
by all reasonable accounts
shot and killed his girlfriend and then committed suicide with a different gone
and yesterday i briefly talked about the bob costas clip
bob costas of course the sports reporter he went on t_v_
and he issued the following statement which we played yesterday about guns
that the statement immediately started being criticized by the right wing as a
gun control
okay now just to refresh your memory here is the bob costas statement that is
the subject of the controversy take a listen actual perspective on this
a bit of it comes from the kansas city base writer jason weblog
with whom i do not always agree button today said it so well that we may as
well just quote or paraphrase from the end of his article
our current done culture without parole
insures that more and more domestic disputes well into the ultimate tragedy
and that more convenience store confrontations over loud music coming
from a car
believe more teenage boys bloodied and dead
handguns did not enhance our safety
they exacerbate our flaws tend to stay escalade arguments and data since one
bracing confrontation rather than avoiding it
okay so he went on a little more but again he was basically just
quoting an article that was written by someone else and we talked about it
yesterday
turns out that overnight this is continued to blow up the right wingers
are going absolutely out of their minds over this and that was actually a
segment involving an r_-rated c_e_o_ wayne lapierre and i don't know the
seems to be n_r_a_ news apparently there's an an already
show of some kind
and they're going to completely off the map even going as far as to suggest that
the solution here lewis
is not gun control
it is not
anything other then
that job on belcher is girlfriend should have herself been aren't
and able to therefore
shoot back or shoot to defend herself this is incredible let's get into the
video
this is again as i mentioned
from i guess the n_r_a_ has a shell
it's called an r_ rating news or something like that here is wayne
lapierre the current c_e_o_
along with the host another reporter let's take a listen right wing thank you
so much for your time sir
paid to do what you can think that uh... millions of americans uh... tune in to
watch football last night instead get in a lecture on gun control by a bomb
kostas
uh... after the uh... *** suicide involving the uh... n_f_l_ player joe on
belcher or what's your reaction to uh... to all of this
well it's kinda like my phone started ringing the minute happened according
all kinds of communications for people just disgusted
they tune in to watch a sporting event
meanwhile what they gave in regard to this cold-blooded *** that took place
is a gift
a national sportscaster whining about his social agenda that he wants adopted
debate and
firearms and a m handguns how do you know that's the introduction there that
i want to skip to the actual key partner but with
this is just such nonsense because we know that what bob costas said
is just logical we know that there are five their disagreement blah blah blah
blah blah ready and free access to not one but multiple guns makes it so that
you can just more easily reach for a gun and shoot someone during an argument
this is not just you know people start
if he had stabbed her to death would be would we be trying to ban knives
and making arguments like that what we're we're not saying that
not having the gonna would've prevented violence what we're saying is that
the gun offers immediate and often
irrevocable
in the heat of an argument and that's what we don't want
uh...
this is a this is a popular opinion in the skies acting as if uh...
bob costas who was quoting someone right
is uh... is somehow trying to with the u_s_ of all weapons and impose some kind
of social agenda now let's go to the key part of your work mister lapierre
suggest a the solution here
is that she should have had a gunman girlfriend should have had a gun take a
look wit lakhani sick
you know arm that handguns do not enhance safety and let me let me just
correct here
the other governors female journalist is goin initially make the point and then
wayne lapierre is going to agree with her take a listen used at all you gotta
do is yes one of the are citizens of the two right knee i became we talked to me
and said here
you know what if i didn't have that fire with me i wouldn't be here top-ranking
and as you mentioned the victim i mean she was totally defenseless against this
six foot died at least two hundred and forty pounds what if she had a fire
well that's exactly right i mean the fact is that we do we know whether
countries i mean you look at the suicide rates in other countries i mean my guys
the u_s_'s
not even though because of their ego that's right
she should have had a gun the solution here ladies and gentlemen is that the
girlfriend should have had
'cause when you're walking around the house uh... with your with the three
month old daughter yeah
uh... logically you should be carrying a firearm you should try to carrying two
ish if i have one gun in a holster and then probably something in your stock
there uh... this goes along with uh... a lot of brightly
talking points as
that his no new wants to know the n_r_a_ where the solution to guns is more guns
to shoot the people that have guns it's kind of blame the victim to let me say
that
she should have had a gun
she shouldn't have warned that's correct
he shouldn't have been acting so gay
he shouldn't have worn a hoodie right it's not as direct but if we could we
really look at the new ones here the good the problem was she didn't have a
gun
that would've been the saluted there is this assumption that if you have the
time
um...
that the crisis will automatically be averted has been in this was not about
in the batman right
if or more people in the theatre had guns they could've fired back of showed
out in regard to room that would've been a solution not to mention the smoker
needs a doctor with korea that makes perfect sense i plead only way for
american citizens the feel safe if that happened guns on them at all times
we have failed as a country
they've women can only be safe
when they have guns
we have failed isn't that right this goes way beyond the logistics of who has
which guns this is a broader issue here
where the solutions have to be
in more people carrying guns at all times were in trouble ladies and
gentlemen
despicable stuff from the n_r_a_
