ESPN's take on guns

[RwWilly]

Pretty good short film. Doesn't come right out with their stance. But shows two emotionally charged views on the subject. Interesting look at an industry where wealth is high and quickly lost.
I couldn't find it on the ESPN site, but found it on The Blaze.

Eh.. I noticed it wasn't even their A-Team doing the interviews. You would think with something like that, they would have Steve Levy talking about it on Outside the Lines.

Stupid is as stupid does

He said the practice of “stunting” or showing off, can lead to particularly dangerous situations with firearms — “it’s a show-off — I have more than you so I’m gonna stunt.”

I guess he has a point there. If you're NOT responsible enough to treat a firearm with all due respect, you shouldn't have any around. This drives home the anti's point of view that no one should have firearms because no one can be trusted ... indoctrinated nannyism come home to roost.

Ohnoes ...

Darwinism will take care of that

WTF ESPN? Stick to football, college basketball, and poker please.
I'm not going to watch this.

I remember recently one woman saying that we're all human and can lose our tempers so firearms should not be available. She doesn't get that people can lose their tempers and remain verbal-only w/o losing all control.

ESPN discussing guns is as useful as MLB coverage on the Military Channel.

Unfortunately, a lot of people who don't handle guns responsibly know enough to keep the barrel pointed away from themselves.

ESPN has always been anti-gun. Even Jim Scoutten on ShootingUSA mentioned it when he talked about the first season and having Colt as a sponsor.

So don't watch anything on ESPN. If you give them viewership, you are cutting your own throat.

I understand for sports fans, that is easier said than done....

I never watch ESPN or ESPN2 or whatever number they're up to now.
