We haven't had a good Kerr/Pop thread in a while.

quote:

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr had a special backdrop behind him when he spoke with reporters on Tuesday night before their game with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Kerr sat in front of a black screen that had the names of the 18 victims in the two latest mass shootings in the United States, both from the Atlanta area last week and from the grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, on Monday.

quote:

“Ted Cruz, this could be your family. This could be your friend. This could be somebody very close to you,” Kerr said. “If it happened, would you not want there to be something in place where there was a background check? It’s just mind-boggling to me that we can just continue to cater to the very small minority in this country.”

quote:

“We have to address it,” Kerr said. “We can’t just turn it into a political issue and romanticize this idea that Americans get to have guns and that it’s a God-given right. I mean, what does that even mean? Did guns exist when God created the Earth? I wasn’t aware of that.

“I think everybody is sick and tired of the rhetoric that’s out there, particularly amongst the Republican Senators who refuse to even vote on [that bill]. We’re not being represented.”

This will certainly spiral into the typical MSB slog it always does.

I love all the call for gun control and something has to be done.

But not a peep about the violence that happens everyday in the inner cities. Or the 8 year old girl that was shot in the head in Shreveport

Proceeds to call out Ted Cruz, mock god, mock those who believe in the 2A

He’s an NBA coach we should definitely listen to him. He’s qualified to talk about such matters because...uh...reasons...

The Colorado shooter hated Donald Trump and his supporters.

Based on his actions, can we ban all people that hate Donald Trump and his supporters?

You know how I know Steve Kerr is full of shite and doesn't have anything to add other than boom boom stick bad?! At least know what is being debated and what is already in place before you go on a rant.

OH SNAP, I didn't expect Kerr to have that take.

You'd think that he wouldn't go off on this tangent after this incident in Colorado considering his father was murdered by the religion of peace.

Really hard to tell real life from Babylon Bee at this point.
