NFL Murder-Suicide Leads to Anti-Gun Pontificating at Half Time

Bob Costas pitches gun control during half-time commentary at the Eagles-Cowboys game

Bob Costas made his case for gun control during halftime of the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys game Sunday.

His comments were spurred by Saturday's tragic murder-suicide, in which Kansas City Chiefs starting linebacker Jovan Belcher,25, fatally shot his 22-year-old girlfriend Kasandra Perkins — also the mother of his 3-month-old child—then drove to the stadium and shot himself.
