Bob Beckel is very sorry. For being a total jackass. During a round table discussion about gun violence on Tuesday night, specifically citing the proposal in Colorado to ban concealed weapons, this Fox News contributor questioned the prevalence of rape across U.S. universities.

Is this enough? Or should Beckel be reprimanded by the network? Even fired?
