Reporter Ginny Simone NRA Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre attack Bob Costas for calling for gun control during the halftime show of NBC’s Sunday Night Football.
Bob Costas spoke out in favor of gun control after Kansas City Chiefs player Jovan Belcher allegedly shot and killed his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins before committing suicide on Saturday. Simone and LaPierre both stated their belief that had Perkins had a handgun the entire incident could have been avoided with LaPierre stating that Costas “wouldn’t have said a thing last night” if Perkins “had saved her life by having a firearm.”
LaPierre went on to insist that crime would be greatly reduced if more Americans owned guns and complained that the media was biased against guns in spite of the fact that the “vast majority” of Americans understoood that having more guns makes them safer.
