Bob Costas remarks on gun control the platform Sunday Night Football, Jovan Belcher tragedy, December 2, 2012. Bob Costas gun control rant after Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher committed murder/suicide. Sad to use a tragedy to advance ones own agenda. Sad and ironic that “God Bless America” is playing in the background.
National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre said,
