Costas: Give Me One Example of Someone Using an 'Assault Rifle' Constructively

Oh Bob, have you not learned to keep your mouth shut yet?

 

[Classic]

What an ignorant ass.

 

[femurphy77]

Put him in a humvee in afghanistan and give him his choice; a cellphone or an m16. Perhaps he can come up with a "constructive" use!c

 

[sgreen3]

Sheeewwww!!!! Luckily I use all my rifles for sporting purposes so I have nothing to worry about.


The whole "assault rifle" verbiage is really getting old. They should at least learn what it is they don't like first before talking about it all over the media air waves. Makes them look like the tards.

Service rifle class for Competitive High Power shooting is the most participated class. 50 States, 50 State teams, One national championship at Camp Perry in Ohio, hundreds and hundreds of club and regional level events.

I guess that will not count in costas' book.

My turn, Ok, sir, give me one example of a practical use for an Indy Car. How many people would tie him to the whipping post if he said that?

No one ever added an entertainment tax to the establishments in Indy to build a rifle range, like they do for Sports complexes.

I could keep filling in lines on that stupid statement all night long!

 

[nascarfantoo]

What as Costas done constructively? Definitely not been in the field of sports announcing. Just a couple more inches and that mic will fill that void in the front of his face.

 

[eldirector]

I can think of a few hundred thousand "constructive uses" in the hands of our servicemen. Even a few reasonable uses by law enforcement.

So, Costas, can you name a constructive use for a football? Other than transferring tax money into team owner's pockets.

Of course, Costas is really talking about non-assault rifles, like the semi-automatic AR-15 an others. He just doesn't know the difference (or is intentionally misleading folks). There are STILL plenty of self-defense instances using these rifles, plus hunting and competition. Facts just get in the way of a good emotional argument, though.

 

[The Bubba Effect]

I don't have much experience with assault rifles, but I have used my AR 15 to build relationships, encourage and reward responsibility with young people, teach physics, teach geometry, teach history, teach firearms safety, build character, build confidence, make new friends and make old friends stronger and bring simple joy. I have used my AR to let a father returned from Iraq show his son how well he could shoot and saw his son beam with pride at his father's skill.

I have done a whole lot of good with my AR's.

Who's Costas? The picture looked like he's probably some sports ball personality. Is he somebody important or someone who talks about sports ball for a living?

He's just a guy that likes to watch and talk about guys that play with balls.

 

[Bill of Rights]

I've not read the article. Nonetheless, I'll give him a tried and true example of a defensive rifle. This was a classic case of a minority defending their personal property from a larger group intent on causing harm, and the minority group saying, "Not today you won't!"

Hey Bobby-boy, those rifles were used to save lives and property.

Is that "constructive" enough for you?

If not, too bad. This is still a somewhat free country. You don't have to like the fact that other people have rights and choose to exercise them, but they don't have to like your disapproval nor do they have to conform to it.

ETA:I see I used the same example used in the story. That's fine. Now he can not only hear about it, he can see it.

Blessings,
Bill

Oh Bob, have you not learned to keep your mouth shut yet?

I can think of several instances, all of which keep him the freedom of voicing his opinion without fear of repercussion(s).

 

[uncle griz]

I use my Ak-47 with many loaded mags when I go hog hunting in Texas. When you run accross wild hogs, there are usualy 10 to 40 in a pack. And they run fast and you go thru lots of ammo fast !! ....and that is what I use my semi auto rifle for !!

 

[ModernGunner]

Well, since Costas is MORE loony that Feinstein, and has LESS useful purpose on this planet (if that's even possible!), do we expect anything different out of his piehole?

Okay Bob, give us ONE example of YOU doing ANYTHING constructive...

 

[halfmileharry]

Look no farther than who signs his paychecks. He's just using invisible strings instead of the visible ones. he and Piers have the same master.

Apparently Costas was some big sports star who after his successful career in sports, went on to be a sports commentator.

If you can't play, announce??

If only they had an electronic warehouse of knowledge and ideas that could be accessed from all over the world.
Oh wait, they do.

Thats a good place to start.
Or any search engine would work.

 

[cosermann]

Here's a recent example for Costas from Feb. 2013.

15 year old uses AR15 to defend himself and sister:

Examples like this could be multiplied.

I like this in the comments section:

You are still playing his game by even answering an asinine question and letting him 'define' constructive by YOUR OWN answer 'self defense' if I want to shoot watermelons in my spare time that is constructive FOR ME and that's all that counts. The right is 'shall not be infringed' not 'shall be constructive'

True.

Better answer:

Bob? Go pound sand.
