I just turned it on to watch and heard that. Blamed the gun, not the man. Rediculous. NBC cannot count me among their viewers any longer. I know you can't cure stupid but at least I don't have to put up with it on MY tv. I'm sure that Mr. Costas believes that the reason is the weapon. But Mr. Costas, if someone wants you dead they will find a way to do it. Please be realistic and put the blame where it belongs. The sick individual that held the gun.
