Television personality Bryant Gumbel excoriated the National Rifle Association in a Rolling Stone interview published online Tuesday, saying there are “few things I hate more than the NRA.”
Gumbel made the remarks while discussing a segment that ran on his HBO show “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel” in October about people who only eat meat that they hunt themselves.
Referring to the NRA, he told Rolling Stone: “I think they’re pigs. I think they don’t care about human life. I think they are a curse upon the American landscape. So we got that on the record.”
He said that the segment on his show was “my first experience around killing and guns and hunting.”

Stop using weasel words and tell us what you really think.
Just kidding of course… Sounds like he hates them almost as much as I do.
I agree but my opinion has nothing to do with hunting.
Same here.
I don’t hunt anymore, but thats more my age, eyesight and moving to town.I still have a few guns that I’m very fond of.
I hate the NRA because they stand in the way of reasonable controls, like banning 100 round crowd-killer magazines. I’m sorry, but unless you are a bank robber or avid theater-going madman, you just don’t need them.(there are lots of other reasonable controls I support, that is just a time-saving example)
The people who are against the NRA do not vote nearly to the same extent as those who are for the NRA. There is a substantial gap in emotion on both sides of this so-called “debate”.
Moreover, those who against the NRA who are actually emotionally charged tend to attach more importance to rallies and emotive appeals on emails and such than actually voting the NRA’s supporters out of office.
Finally, those against the NRA predominate in precisely those segments of the population for whom the apex of “political activity” means "coming out every four years to vote for President.
Uh-oh…get ready for the hoardes of flying monkeys and a retraction to follow suit after the death threats to him and his family from the pro-gun ammosexuals
