Following the Uvalde, Texas school shooting, CNN's Bob Costas called arguments defending the Second Amendment 'insane' and said it was treated like 'a sacrament.'
CNN contributor rails against ‘insane’ defense of Second Amendment: ‘The Constitution is not a suicide pact’
Host Brianna Keilar began the conversation by asking Costas about the contribution of professional athletes to the debate over firearms ignited by the shooting, but allowed him free range to rant against those not going along with his idea of gun reform. "This is off the table for many right-wingers and many lawmakers, supposed lawmakers, who won’t make laws that will deal with this, because they treat the Second Amendment as if it were a sacrament. But long ago, a Supreme Court justice said ‘the Constitution is not a suicide pact’," he added, referring to comments from former Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, who used the phrase in a 1949 dissent on a free speech case.
Despite his previous statements against the Second Amendment, Costas stated the issue wasn't"a liberal issue" or"a takedown the Second Amendment issue," but was instead"a law and order issue."
