Can we finally put away the MYTH that Bill Cosby is some kind of mystical concervative guru that comes up with these "uncommon" common sence diatribes now and then.

Anyone who paints with such a broad brush like;

“When you carry a gun, you mean to harm somebody, kill somebody,” he said.
This man is not an ally of ours. Can I get a second.

Do not forget that his opinion is colored by the shooting death of his son a few years back.

Dang it Haligan, you beat me by mere minutes.

“We’ve got to get the gun out of the hands of people who are supposed to be on neighborhood watch,” said Mr. Cosby, whose remarks were the first he has made publicly about the case.

“Without a gun, I don’t see Mr. Zimmerman approaching Trayvon by himself,” Mr. Cosby explained. “The power-of-the-gun mentality had him unafraid to confront someone. Even police call for backup in similar situations.

So how does he propose the neighborhood watch people protect themselves...........oh, that's right...... that's what the po po are for. Bulsh, come and take it funny man.

LOL. Well even though I like Infowars.com the best. The first thing I check is always The Drudge Report. I guess you saw it on Drudge, as well?

I think it depends on the area you live in. If the bad guys are armed neighborhood watch people should be armed. How can we expect some one to look out for the neighborhood if they are going to be killed.

In my area you will be arrested if you are caught armed. We have no rights to protect yourself let alone your neighborhood. They keep the crime rates low by not reporting half the crimes really going on. If the citizens knew how bad it really is they would demand the right to carry guns.

Sorry, Mr Cosby, but I will no longer buy things you sell. Your mind is clouded.

LMAO, when did Bill Cosby become a psychologist? He knows what I am thinking? I carry a gun because I mean to protect myself and take responsibility for my safety.

All I have to say in response to him is "come get it."
