Nothing that Bob Costas said is untrue and he has a right to say it even if it weren't.

26. I own a gun but...

keep it locked up in the back of the closet for more of a doomsday situation. I have no grand illusions of stopping a robber in the middle of the night. However I find that almost everyone I know who keeps a gun for "home protection" are just itching to shoot someone. Hell, they will even tell you. Same with concealed. People who conceal and carry want the shit to go down so they can use their gun. If I was to carry my gun I would want it to be seen and used as a deterrent. Criminals usually pray on the weak and most are gonna keep on walking if they see a gun strapped to your side... As for the law and finding sensible solutions there is still a lot we can do. Most people don't want all guns to be taken away but there is a line that needs to be drawn. If our Forefathers could have foreseen a fully automatic assault rifle with armor piercing bullets that can rip through a classroom of kids in less then a minute then our constitution would be much different.
