Just to keep the facts straight, on Dec. 1 2012 Jovan Belcher, linebacker fot the Kansas City Chiefs, shot and killed his girlfriend Kassandra Perkins. He then committed suicide. During Sunday Night's NFL game Bob Costas of NBC uttered a very simple truth: "Handguns do not enhance our safety. They exacerbate our flaws, tempt us to escalate arguments, and bait us into embracing confrontation rather than avoiding it." This might be the best moment of Costas career as a broadcaster but the right wing media and the gun lobby have subjected him to a barrage of abuse.
The Gun Goons claim they need weapons to defend themselves from criminals and UN troops in black helicopters. In reality, the Gun Goons themselves are most likely to around killing their wives or girlfriends or co-workers when they finally go nuts. Anybody who is obssessed with guns is probably psychotic anyway.
