In response to:
It seems that murder by guns always get far more attention by our sensationalistic liberal media than murders by any other means.
Murder by baseball bat, kitchen knives, bare hands, rocks, poison etc. get far less attention.
When a 300 lb lunatic is hell bent to murder his (cheating ?) girlfriend he really has many options and would have taken one of them in case a gun wasn't available.
Not really, but you'd think this nationally-televised sermon on gun control might at least land the guy an offer of a weekend show, or something. In the wake of the horrific murder-suicide that rocked the NFL over the weekend, Costas devoted a halftime monologue during NBC's Sunday Night Football broadcast to repeating the anti-gun inanities of a Kansas City-based sportswriter:
MSNBC joking aside, this was not one of the famed sportscaster's finer moments. Costas can't hide behind the "I was merely quoting someone else's opinion"...
Also, there was a study done awhile back on two cities, Seattle, WA and Vancouver, BC. Seattle had a much higher rate per capita of violent crime. However, when you eliminated black criminals from the equation, both cities had almost identical rates of violent crimes, despite the fact that access to handguns was much more prevalent in Seattle than Vancouver. It's not the access to guns, it's the character of the people who make up a society. We have a huge problem with minority related crimes of violence, for various reasons, but not guns.
