Quote of the Day: Ignorance is Bliss for Michael Woods (Or Not) Edition

Robert Farago - comments No comments

“Listen, I just work in the toy department. I don’t pretend to be clever enough or informed enough to be able to solve or even begin to address the culture of casual violence and gunplay in America. But I’m proud to say I stand with Bob Costas, proudly, and to publicly proclaim my belief that guns make it too easy to kill people, and that it is time to address, meaningfully and resolutely, our sick national addiction to firearms, and the warped attitudes that manifest in our citizens shooting holes in one another. I end with a question, and prayer: you people that hear about the latest high-profile shooting or mass murder, and don’t see a need to fix this problem, and continue to stubbornly debate for a status quo that is barbaric. Why do you accept this grotesque parade of killings and mass murders? And I pray that one of your loved ones doesn’t get shot and killed in the next inevitable shooting.” – Michael Woods, Bravo, Bob Costas [via huffingtonpost.com]
