WHITLOCK: Sports gets so much attention, and people tune out the real world, that I try to take advantage of the opportunity to talk about the real world when sports lends itself to that and try to open people’s eyes. You know, I did not go as far as I’d like to go because my thoughts on the NRA and America’s gun culture – I believe the NRA is the new KKK. And that the arming of so many black youths, uh, and loading up our community with drugs, and then just having an open shooting gallery, is the work of people who obviously don’t have our best interests [at heart].

I think it’s obvious if you’ve traveled abroad, and traveled to countries where they have legitimate gun laws, that we don’t have to have what we have in America, where people somehow think a gun enhances their liberty, and that people somehow think a gun makes them safer. It just doesn’t. A gun turns some kids listening to music into a murder scene. And uh, you know, if you don’t have a gun, you drive home. You know, kids listening to some loud music, you don’t like it, you go home and complain to your wife. But when you have a gun, you open fire, potentially, and take the life of a child.

I'm pretty sure Jwhit meant to say "illegally obtained guns" as well as "illegal drug use". He's talking about the black market that nobody, including groups such as the NRA, wants to confront. I'd agree, but the other premises he brings forward I do not agree with.

Nice. Thanks to Costas' bit at halftime Sunday night, Jason is on the NRA radar. Bob Dole will post the ILA email response if nobody else gets to it. (Copy and paste is a PITA from mobile.)

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I don't own a gun, but I'm a firm believer in the 2nd amendment. Outside of that, whatever.

[blaise]

I don't care if he wants to advocate for gun control, but the NRA is KKK just makes him sound like a moron.

[ForeverChiefs58]

Whitlock could have easily used this to address the real, and more serious addiction issues going on with more and more athletes.

Making this about guns is refusing to look any deeper at what the real issues with a lot of athletes.

[Predarat]

May NitWhit and Costas be butt buddys.

[Dayze]

NRA = KKK?.....is he ****ing serious.

for being educated, he can sure be stupid on a lot of subjects.

[WV]

Bob Costas was on the Dan Patrick show and was semi back pedaling, but then went full on stupid and asked why do people need semi automatic weapons. But claims to support the 2nd amendment. Its easier for people like him to add that qualifier, but then add stupid caveats along with it. They think it helps.
DP was spot with him, he said he thought he was a little heavy handed with his last remark about if he didn't have a gun these two people would probably be alive. Costas back pedaled and said those were Whitlocks remarks I was quoting him and couldn't reach him to add my qualifiers before hand. Costas is a tool.

He injected a political opinion just like Rush Limbaugh did. They are both tools for including that garbage.

from your link;

"What I believe in my heart is Jovan Belcher was going to find a way to wreak havoc that day whether he had a gun or a knife or only his fists. And even the potential to stop him is not justification for willingly handing over rights guaranteed to us"


I agree with this writer's assertion and will add we need to take a serious look at drug abuse in this country. It's a major component in this incident & others like it.
