Report: ‘At Least Seven’ Players Turn In Guns In Wake Of Jovan Belcher Tragedy « CBS New York
I think some folks are over reacting.
I think some folks are over reacting.
A recent USA Today poll revealed that three out of four NFL players own guns, whereas 40 to 45 percent of the general population owns firearms.
Are they turning in their booze and cars too? Man I'd like to score a Bentley with a trunk load of expensive guns and Crown Royal because some over paid pampered athlete can't control himself. Where are they turning them in, I need a road trip!
One of them said he "didn't trust himself with his guns." Somebody says that, I don't trust him either. Probably seven less unsafe gun owners.
It's a popular belief that professional athletes (especially NFL players) carry guns for their own protection. When there is an increase of players being assaulted by "Joe Blow," then I wonder who/what they will blame.
I'm glad the guys who don't trust themselves are turning them in. I appreciate their "honesty" (yeah right!), but they should have never purchased a firearm in the first place with such a low self-assessment.
I'm sure the single piece they turned in was their entire collection?? Even it was, which it probably wasn't, with their money they can buy any piece they want as soon as their fragile emotions wane.
I like that "bike" analogy I was the same way if I had a crotch rocket I'd be dead now. I had a vette and I know how crazy I got in that. But good for those NFL players that cant trust themselves I rather they didnt a firearm either
