Bob Costas Anti-Gun Response

As you have undoubtedly heard, during NFL coverage last Sunday, Bob Costas went on a rant about gun control. Based on his statements, there is little doubt in my mind that Bob Costas is not a Second AmendmentSupporter. There is also little doubt in my mind that when making these anti-gun comments, Bob Costas didn’t realize how offended the public would be with these comments.

It seems that USA Today attempted to interview Bob Costas about these comments, but Costas declined the interview.  Instead, an NBC spokesman made the following comments about Mr Costas that I think further clarifies the fact that Bob Costas is not a friend to the Second Amendment:

Bob Costas “is pro-sensible gun reform and pro-attitude adjustment on guns.”

Bob Costas is “in favor of people owning guns to hunt and carrying them in reasonably controlled circumstances.”

“Gun Reform”, “Pro-Attitude Adjustment on Guns”, “Controlled”…  So… Does this sound like someone who is a Second Amendment Supporter?

Brady Campaign Weakness

In an op-ed that ran this week on the left-wing Huffington Post web site, the Brady Campaign's Dan Gross tried to make the case that the NRA is a weak political force.

He based his claims on a study done by the Sunlight Foundation that measured money spent in the election against races won and lost.  Because the NRA spent money on important, highly contested races in which we could make a difference, rather than simply backing sure winners, the score NRA received was low.   However, in his effort to claim that this means the NRA is without real power or influence, Gross left out a few important facts.

Congress Moves to Stop Obama From Signing U.N. Arms Treaty

The United Nations is pushing gun control on a global scale, and President Obama is on board. Just a few hours after re-election was assured, the president’s representative cast a vote for the Arms Trade Treaty at a U.N. committee meeting. The loosely drafted agreement doesn’t go after guns directly, but the language enables activist judges to get creative in restricting Americans’ exercise of their Second Amendment rights. A final General Assembly decision on the treaty is expected in March, and House Republicans are locked and loaded to stop it.

A Second Amendment loss in San Francisco

A Second Amendment loss in San Francisco…

San Francisco can require handgun owners to keep their weapons locked when stored at home and can ban bullets that expand or splinter on contact, a federal judge has ruled in rejecting a National RifleAssociation-backed effort to block enforcement of the local gun laws.

In denying an injunction sought by gun owners, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg said Monday that neither city ordinance appeared to violate standards set by the U.S. Supreme Court in its 2008 ruling that declared a constitutional right to possess firearms at home for self-defense.
