Juan Williams: Critics Wants to Stifle Pro-Gun Control Costas

Robert Farago - comments No comments

“Whether one supports gun control or opposes it, there can be no denying that the issue should be debated as a matter of public safety,” left-leaning Fox News commentator Juan William opines re: NBC sportscaster Bob Costa’s half-time anti-gun polemic. “But anti-free speech forces have prevented this debate from happening.” Straw man much? The Costas caused controversy is still in progress. And I don’t remember anyone saying gun control shouldn’t be debated. Nor banning Mr. Costas from, say, Fox News. “Conservatives have been locked into opposing gun control because of concern that the far-left wants to ban all guns.” Only because they do. Sorry. Carry on . . . “As Bernie Goldberg said recently, people on the right should agree with Costas that something is wrong when there are ‘more bad things happening with guns than good things.'” Never mind a conservatively estimated (so to speak) 1.5m defensive gun uses per year. Memo to Juan: the Talking Heads already warned you that “facts don’t do what you want them to.”
