Kerr has frequently used his platform to highlight gun violence. He notably declared at a May press conference this past year that he is "tired of the moments of silence" and demanded government action to stem the string of mass shootings in the country.

A senseless crime and tragedy. A lot has been said about what needs to happen in our country to change. The safety around our school systems across the world, and for me as a parent of two daughters that go to school every single day, it just makes you think even more. There is so much talk that’s been happening or that’s not been happening around changing gun control laws and things like that. So I don’t know how many more examples or cases we need to prove that point. So hopefully that does change. Obviously we’re thinking about the families down there that are affected, and we’re praying for them as well.

Looks like they will get it. After all the President of the United States took a knee for them and in front of them

there was a NBA commercial a couple years ago where a bunch on NBA players said something about needing gun control
one of the players was Steph Curry, another one was Carmelo Anthony, I forget who else was on that commercial

I'm not a Warriors fan.  in fact I'm a Warriors hater.  I hate those guys!  and Kerr too.  whenever Kerr talks about needing gun control, he comes off like a cry-baby whiner to me. and I really hate Draymond Green, he's a dirty player
I hate their smugness, like they are the greatest of all time.  they are good at what they do, but I still don't like them

Does everything have to be taken literally?

When basketball teams are called in to the White House to talk about "gun safety" and "gun violence", what do you think they are going to recommend other than more restrictions on law abiding gun buyers and owners?

They sure aren't the "brain trust" for protecting Second Amendment rights and authors of policies to end ILLEGAL gun violence by criminals.

im not taking anything literally. just trying to make a point.
who says they arent pro 2a? how do you know they dont have the close to or even exact same views and opinions that you do? seems everyone has been trained to automatically make divisive assumptions and judgements about strangers and without any facts.it really seems like people love to spend the day making themselves upset about things that they really have no control over.

Biden is anti-2A.

If you need a history lesson on his anti-2A positions for 50 years, do some Googling.

He's not about to invite pro-2A groups to discuss guns.  Otherwise, he'd be having quarterly luncheons with NRA members.

Common sense.

Imagine how much work could get done if the anti 2a side actually was interested in preventing gun deaths.

Kerrs father was killed by terrorists outaide of America but he blames  Americas guns for it. If the White House was serious about gun control they sought counsel from a basketball team?
