quote:

One of the most recognizable and influential athletes on the planet has made his stance on gun violence clear.

"There's no room for guns," Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James said Friday, in reaction to separate shooting-related deaths Thursday, one in Cleveland and several at a college campus in Oregon.
quote:

James said he didn't hear Obama's speech, but "I know what I see. I know how I feel.

"Obviously you're not going to be able to take every gun out, I don't know how you can do that," James said. "There's so many around now, today. But if there's some stipulations behind it or some penalties, some big-time penalties or rules or regulations about carrying firearms, legal or illegal, people will second-guess themselves."

James didn't specify if he was calling for stricter gun laws at the federal or state level. But his statements nevertheless represent perhaps the most pointed political stance James has taken on any issue over the years, even though he has a history of speaking out against violence toward unarmed African-Americans.

I like when people who don't know anything about a subject interject themselves into a National discussion and think their opinion somehow matters more because they are a sports star or celeb.
