His father died in a shooting so he perfectly knows what losing someone dear in this way means. He deeply feels every word he said.
Kerr played BB in Chicago so he is very unfamiliar with gun violence. Kids in South Chicago help old ladies cross the street instead of gangbanging like the white Norwegian kids in rural Minnesota
@@DR-rk9lk bro he just said "so he knows what losing someone you love is like", what does it being overseas have to do with anything???
Wow that's deep.
Exactly
@Margaret Harrison spoken like a true NRA child murdering supporter.
I feel for Steve Kerr. He lost a loved one through gun violence. I'm sick of those shootings.
Yeah he lost his dad and someone that significant in his life this probably did not sit well with him when he heard this news
His father was killed in Lebanon
Different situation. His dad was assassinated. He went to another country touting his liberal bullshit as a university president.
@@chrisnewman2896 Assasinated. By terrorists. Just like the ones in this country. Stop with the qualifiers.
What is your solution to stopping these, besides pounding the table and being upset. Do you know how many black children were gunned down last year in just Chicago? I bet you anything Kerr has never ONCE addressed that. Can you think of a reason why he wouldn't? I can.
I've always been a fan of Steve Kerr. Articulate, intelligent. He is definitely speaking the truth.
It was a Staged Event
No, he isn't. The "90% support background checks" line is factually false or at least misleading. His claim that HR8 would prevent future shootings is also not true. His claim that Republicans get more power by voting against gun control makes no sense.
His father was killed in Lebanon (where it’s not legal to own guns). The American gun laws had no relevance, and clearly the killers didn’t care about Lebanon’s gun laws.
Still think the laws will change anything?
His message clearly hit me and has my eyes feeling watery and damn it that someone’s child being killed at school where it supposed to be safe, but officers have been cowards and it’s true
@Manning Man A good brain wash.
Pushing a leftist agenda by USING little children is a true scumbag of a move. Why didn't he do something BEFORE they were killed? Why use them for promoting his message. Yes, let's take guns away from law abiding citizens so ONLY scumbags that walk into schools and cowardly cops who stand outside that school for an hour have guns. Maybe if those teachers had guns, the only one shot and killed would have been the scumbag. The law he is talking about would have changed absolutely not 1 single thing in this shooting or any of the others he referenced. Read a book people, try to get an actual clue.
You don't win browny points for crying son.
That doesn't help anyone.
This is BS.
Banning semi automátics and doing background checks are solutions that answer “how” it happened but it doesn’t explain the “why” which is a much tougher question.
@@theotherview1716 no they're not.
Banning semi autos isn't going to do anything.
For a man that lost a family member to gun violence all those years ago, You can see and feel that Steve Kerr’s comments definitely hit close to home.
Sure do. But he was the one who helped spread the lie that systemic racism exists in the police. Overall, that led to more murders in these black communities.
many veterans lost friends in war through gun violence..u think they want give up there gun collection because Few shootings now few liberals are scared...they gonna have a huger problem than gun violence if they try to take my guns away
Unfortunately he may be silently ostracized by executives and peers alike for speaking his thoughts, much like his predecessor.
It's violence period and the people we should be angry at are every single government official. We have the ability to make our schools safe but refuse to. It's not about guns. It's about fortifying our schools instead of making them victim zones. Ask yourself this question, if you were a robber and saw a house with a sign that said "anti gun/gun free zone" and a house that said "I fire warning shots in the head/we don't dial 911" which house would you rob? We have turned schools into a free for all for CRIMINALS to commit atrocities instead of making them a safe space for our children. This is all by design. I'll say this as well, if you are appalled by this tragedy and want something to be done to protect children but are also pro abortion, you are a liar and a part of the problem in this country. I don't care what political party you belong to. Both are evil and do not care about anything but power, control and their personal wealth. This is a battle between good and evil. Not a political issue. Either we put in place protections for our children or we make them an easy target. Right now our "public" aka Government ran school systems are easy targets. They have made it this way. If you truly care about the safety of children and making schools safe, do something about it. Make them aware that you are fed up and allow your conscience to override your political indoctrination. Trained and armed security personnel and teachers would put a stop to this crap. Why is it that active shooters always seem to choose predominantly "gun free" zones? Because they know they have zero resistance and can commit whatever evil deeds they wish in these areas. I for one will be homeschooling my children going forward because I do not trust any government officials to do what's right and take the necessary steps to protect our children.

Man I respect Steve Kerr. He’s gotta be one of the only basketball related people to actually talk about this head on, and you can hear every ounce of frustration, sadness, and pain in his voice. And he’s completely right to top it all off. Again, mad respect to Steve Kerr.
Greg Popovich and Lebron are also two of the frontline guys as well.
Steve Kerr Dad was a teacher and got killed in a school shooting.
@Hu Du really smh
Samthon nope, he was a university professor and happened to be in Lebanon at a university and was killed by two terrorists.
@Hu Du Life is life doesn’t matter the number. You’re not bringing that up because you care about you’re just like the rest of these assholes out here acting holier than thou like you would do something different if you were in that position. I guarantee you wouldn’t say shit. It’s probably fucked up shit that happens in your surroundings and you ignore it. So go on somewhere with this bullshit.
much love Steve, my family and I use to cheer for you from Mexico when you where with the Bulls, and now we cheer for you more than every. Un abrazo hermano.
When you speak up it makes a real difference. Thank you with all our hearts for telling it like it is. Elizabeth and Brendan
Ok, but why not speak up on the thousands of babies killed in abortion clinics every year.
Do their lives matter?
I dont watch sports, or know this man's affiliation politically, sportswise, religiously, etc, but this was amazing. Thank you, sir, for using your platform to say something.
He used his platform to rail against armed guards in schools too...
Let me clue you in on his history. He’ll repeat whatever the dumbest mantra of the week is. Last year he was against school security because of BLM. Not a unique thought in his head.
His dad was assassinated in 1984. That’s why you c an hear the pain in his voice.
To hell with all these woke NBA players and coaches with their fake outrage. They don't even speak out on the real human rights actrocities committed by their Comminist daddies in China or all the death chaos and destruction committed by the hate group BLM that him and his league wrapped their arms around or the gang/gun violence in Chicago or a crazed criminal mowing down and killing 9 people in Wisconsin so their selective outrage and opinions mean shit to me.
Soooooo…. You’re probably not aware that he aligned himself with the BLM movement to oppose armed security within the Oakland S.D.
He’s a virtue signaling hypocrite and is only teasing out a slight portion of the facts.
My guess is, the Chinese gave him the go ahead to speak out at his presser.
"WHEN ARE WE GOING TO DO SOMETHING!!!" I have chills... I wish something would be done, and hopefully something is.
well you commenting on every other video on youtube won't help for sure
Like he said they want to hold onto power, they’ll play politics each party will blame the other, waiting for it to blow over and it will because people will move on all this outrage will go away-and it will happen again the process will repeat and so on. CNN and FOX will both slant the news in terms of their own biases. Republicans are already politicizing that Democrats are politicizing the shooting. Hypocrisy knows no bounds. Bottom line-NOTHING WILL BE DONE.
Stop stealing comments, bro. Not fukkin cool man.
@Pop-up jealous of a guy who makes no content and just comments on every other youtube video, sure...

Bless his heart! I whole heartedly agree with him. Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their country. God bless us, everyone!
It was very touching, respect to Steve Kerr
This is the man that stood up to Jordan and hit back when everyone else ran scared. He’s always had a spine of steel. To watch him be so moved and motional is heartbreaking. I am glad he is not numb to the situation like so many have become.💖💖💖
Well said! I have always had a lot of admiration and respect towards him. I am an Arizona Wildcats fan where he played college basketball, and even back then you could see that he had incredible drive and passion.
He’s a pansy and bows down to China. He has no idea what he’s talking about. None of the crap he said would have made a difference. Evil happens. This guy bought the guns legally.
And Jordan rightfully popped him.
Niggas gone too numb. The fact we gotta bring it up, actually means nothing. Ppl just genuinely don’t give af for the next man🤦🏽♂️
But coudnt stand with the victim of chinese slavery because they get money from them...
Hes the exact opposite. a complete coward and clown. He has no idea what he's talking about regarding gun laws/background checks. He is however in full support of China, which is a terrible country and owns the NBA basically. total phony.

Thank you Steve Kerr for speaking on how we all feel about gun violence
My exact thoughts on our situation. So sick of the moments of silence and condolences that we have to offer every few days. The saddest article on Wikipedia is on mass shootings in the United States. It has a list that is updated daily. There is a mass shooting practically every week. No matter how you feel about freedom, gun control or AR15s, you can admit that something is very very wrong right now.
man i teared up watching this. rest and peace to those who passed away in this tragedy and condolences to their families.
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD! WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!

STOP IDOLIZING & WORSHIPING THESE PEOPLE!
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!

Was he this emotional when the Sactown club shooting occurred just last month?
You're doing what Steve is completely fed up with. Sending condolences.
Talk to your political leaders - talk to them because we are held hostage by these people - America is because an embarrassment
I’m grateful people like Steve with a microphone speak about important things like this. EDIT: Yes, some background checks exist, but there are legal loopholes that allow gun purchases without a background check, like purchasing at a gun show. We need to close the loopholes with UNIVERSAL background checks. Would it have stopped this tragedy? No. Would it help prevent future tragedies? Without a doubt. There’s no single answer to this problem. 2nd EDIT: Buying a gun at a gun show, at least in Texas, is considered a private sale, so background checks are not required. Call it what you want, but I want background checks for every gun purchase. And for the record, I’m a licensed concealed carry card holder, even though you don’t have to be licensed in Texas anymore to carry concealed, and I own a number of guns.
Naw he’s an idiot who is virtue signaling.
@@trhansen3244 then leave
@@trhansen3244 Genuinely curious, but since when was race a factor in this conversation until you decided to bring it up? This situation is about gun control and mass gun violence that occurs in American regardless of factors such as race. I'm fairly sure that with stricter gun control all gun violence would go down, not just gun violence that you seem to deem as more important due to race for some reason.
@@zarinaa7100 it's a factor since he never brings it up. Chicago has the strictest gun control laws in the country. They basically have a mass shooting every week.
@@zarinaa7100 1:02 HR8 wouldn't have stopped *ANY* of these mass shootings. *NONE* of the guns used in these recent shootings were obtained through private transfers and that is the *ONLY* thing HR8 deals with.

Same
@ٴ his father died from something like this, so of course he wants to talk about it.
@ٴ no he didn't that passion in his voice came from experience you are the one thinking politics
yea... he is clearly mentally unwell... to think that things kill people instead of people killing people is beyond words... To care at this point about how people are killing people instead of why people are killing people is inexcusable idiocy. Or is it normal for Kerr that there are such tortured tormented people in society for whom the existence is such unbearable hell that they resort to killing innocents because in their eyes innocents do not deserve this hell on Earth... Is this normal for Kerr? Is he ok that people want to kill people for these reasons and he just wants to take away means how to do it? ...and let them continually suffer? What an abomination of human being Kerr is...
Steve Kerr is the ultimate underdog if you know his life story. He's is a tremendous example of the type of person with the type of heart we need more of in this country to make a difference.

There's every bit of TRUTH and PAIN in Steve's speech. Change has to happen. I'm no American, but my sympathies goes to the parents, loved ones who lost their kids, teacher in this another gloomy day. RESPECT for Steve Kerr, but most importantly RESPECT the lives of others.
Why does everyone think this is a government problem? It's not. It's a local problem, that every community has to address at the micro level. You think one federal law is going to heal all these teens? Wake up. The federal government isn't creating these deranged teenagers. Gun control is not the solution. They'll steal a gun. Fix the teens, that's the solution.
As an American this guy doesn't even know the gun laws in Texas! You have to pass a background check to purchase a firearm in Texas!
Change how? More gun laws aren't going to solve it. Background checks are already in place. Criminals will always have access to guns. I feel the pain here and applaud Kerr's passion. But simply calling for gun control and yelling CHANGE THIS is silly.
“I’m no American”

@@BestBallStrategy it’s not just a background check. That alone is just not enough, but it comes with some safety thresholds, like minimum age (this still very debated on, but ranging from 21 to 25). That does make a difference.
"This can happen to anyone" doesnt they are only School shootings in the United States and nowhere else in the world is there "school shootings" im not sure how to fix it but this is a serious problem that has to be fixed.Ppl say well "guns dont kill people"maybe not but you dont hear of someone going in a school and killing 20 ppl with a knife now do you
@@melissakelly5813 so according to you killing someone with a knife is the same as killing someone with a gun
Crazy how so many lives can be shattered by one guy with a gun in only a matter of minutes. My deepest condolences to the victims and families.

he acts like he hates guns when he probably sucked MJs semi automatic a few times in his career
His response really made me cry so hard 🥺🥺🥺
It hits harder when you've actually experienced it.
You know this country is sad when steve Kerr has the most impactful speech out of anybody with a platform. The own Presidents and congress barely say anything but “thoughts and prayers” Steve actually making a good point🙏🏽💯
To be fair, Obama made a pretty impassioned speech after Sandy Hook and Republicans dug in to fight any change in gun laws tooth and nail.
This problem is getting stonewalled from one side of the aisle almost exclusively.
I guess you didn't hear Biden's speech
Except Biden did..
Biden said the same thing. Our own president IS saying the same good points Steve Kerr said.
Now Mitch McTraitor, he's the one who never says anything meaningful and refuses to bring up a vote on desperately needed legislation
Obama did, after Sandy Hook. His opponents mocked him for shedding a tear. The same opponents then went out and Scotch a vote in the Senate, merely to tighten up background-check rules. This is the state of our nation.
This is POWERFUL!!! Much respect ✊🏽
Steve Kerr will always have my “RESPECT”🏁💯
@Democrats Are Losers
His stand on this had nothing to do with being either a Democrat or repuplican though
Thank you Mr. Kerr! God Bless you sir!
So proud of Steve Kerr. Most people will be afraid to express their feelings as him because they're afraid to lose their jobs or some money. A bunch of losers. I'm now a fan of you from today my man.
don't accept a false sense of security just to appease leftists
The NBA is a left wing echo chamber of virtue signalers. Why would Kerr be at fear for losing his job when shedding leftist crocodile tears? If he criticized the Chinese Communist Party on the other hand… Then he would have to worry about his job.
Totally agree I just know the coach today I know the great human he was (sorry for my english I am French)
Yea like he kept his mouth shut about china and there death camps when asked. If he talks bad about china he will lose money but not when he talks about this shooting. Yea he's a hypocrite
Completely disagree. He's liberal and your claim that liberals will lose their job for calling out the NRA has no merit. Calling out the NRA actually helps his brand which is why liberals are constantly calling out the NRA. Anyways, unfortunately this was nothing like Sandy Hook where the gunman shot the kids in matter of minutes. Like all liberals, Steve didn't wait for the facts, the gunman murdered the children slowly while police listened in the hallway for 45 minutes. Does the liberal clown has any ideas how to prevent THAT???????
If you know Mr. Kerr's story, you'll understand where this passion, anger and heart break comes from.
We're all with you, sir
@Mojo TheRising it’s freaking disgusting.
Speak for yourself dummy.
@Hu DuReally How did they kill him? Poison darts? Take two minutes to learn this.
@Hu Du was his father being stabbed?
@Hu Du Steve's father was literally assassinated due to gun violence... are you really this dense? And the irony of you asking someone if comprehension is too hard is hilarious lmao
Coach Kerr a real one
Thank you 🙏🏽
another way you can tell just how genuine this is is the fact that kerr never even brings up what happened to his father and how it has made him that much more sensitive to issues like these... because unlike most celebrities, public and/or political figures in the media who feel compelled to speak on these issues, he knows it's not about himself. god bless you, steve.
He's holding himself not to cry..very sympathetic.i feel him.
it makes for a nice trending vid. a shame that piece of legislation he loves wouldnt have stopped the shooting.
The shooter had no criminal or mental history. clean slate. He couldve become a cop ez with his lack of history. Hr2 wouldnt have stopped it
@@WHATISUTUBE Funny, it takes a lot of evaluation and training to become a police officer. Doesn't look like this guy had to do that. Great example genius.
2 days for an 18yr old to buy and receive 2 AR15s and 300+ round of ammunition is not a functioning society and it needs to stop. I don't care what legislation is mentioned or specific to XYZ scenarios. It is too easy to get a gun in this country and it's farcical to suggest making it harder would do nothing so let's not even bother. Or that it would prevent the public from rebeling against some hypothetical doomer future government tyranny.
But remember, he also conveniently fails to bring up that less than two years ago, he led a successful movement to get police removed from the school system in Oakland, one of the most violent cities in the country. And one thing that the tragedy in Texas teaches is how insane that move was. Imagine if even one cop had been there at the school when the shooter arrived. Maybe no one would’ve been killed. And look at what stopped the massacre - a border patrol agent who arrived at the scene.
Yet because he’s been super woke for so long, the media is covering up his past activism, which has put students in greater danger.
Kerr is grossly ignorant on political matters. His success in basketball came because he was a good player and is now a great coach. It had nothing to do with any political knowledge. But the NBA is an extreme woke culture, and he craves the applause of that crowd, so he continually makes brash, ignorant comments that the media plays widely as if he’s some kind of revolutionary. That mass attention and praise gives him a grossly overblown sense of self importance.
Just analyze this rambling, emotional, knee jerk, tirade. He doesn’t say a word about the lack of security at this and many other schools, the epidemic of absent fathers, widespread mental illness, or the over prescription of psychiatric drugs. In other words, he didn’t say a word about what makes one human being want to kill another.
Instead, he focuses only on guns, as that’s all that the left focuses on in response to tragedies such as these - as if all you have to do is ban these guns and things like this won’t happen, which is simply not true. Banning an item doesn’t mean that the item no longer exists, or that it will even be hard to obtain. As many laws as this guy broke - including killing his grandmother - I suspect that had he been denied a gun purchase at a store, he would’ve found a gun in the black market.
Regardless, even if we ban certain guns, or all guns, some people will still have them or get them, and we will still need good security at schools.
His strong support of a so called “background check” is probably based on blind faith more than anything else. I’ve never seen any evidence that such procedures make much difference.
Finally, his claim that the bill is being held hostage by the Republicans is pure ignorance. The Democrats control both houses of Congress and the presidency. They can pass the bill without one Republican vote.
Shut your mouth Kerr. You ain't doing garbage
I stand with Steve Kerr… my prayers are with all the family members who lost a child to the violence today
What does "standing with" Steve Kerr mean? Does that mean you're also going to do nothing? Other than cry, and ask the federal government to fix our kids?
Prayers do nothing. Go vote or protest. If you’re just going to pray you’re missing the point.
protect your family. the reality is guns will always be in this country. so don’t be the one with only your fist when a criminal starts blasting. what steve kerr didn’t know was this kid illegally got his pistol. so i agree with background checks, but it would not have done anything in this case as the kid was 18 and you have to be 21 to get a handgun, which means he did not legally get the gun.

All players in the NBA need to boycott
@@stevenmoore1044 Kyrie’s burner has entered the chat
I can feel coach Kerr was trying really hard to contain himself. And he’s right, we are all fed up. The country unites when a tragedy occurs, and the same country splits when it comes to doing something about it. We all need to put our agendas and rhetorics aside, and just sit down to come up with something both sides can agree with or compromise for. Or else more Americans are going to fall victims to this senseless violence.
Chicago is the murder capital in the USA and you want to make the nation exactly like it? It’s not a background check it’s a FOID. We already have a background check.
More Americans need to be armed to protect themselves not the opposite. Taking away guns doesn't solve any issues as law abiding american citizen will be left even more vulnerable while guns will be at the hands of tyrannical g o v t and/or criminals.
@@daebak7370 you dont solve violence with more violence
@@cole_xemnis history proves otherwise
@@John_Redcorn_ what history
Just the fact that he called out on the senators, and the VERY FACT that he asked:
"When are we gonna do something?!" as he smacked his fist on the table.
This man has my respect.
I agree, DO SOMETHING.
As a non-American, I am not legitimate to give a moral lesson or opinion on gun laws or the way your country is run. But as a father of four children, I can feel the pain and despair of all those bereaved families in your country, week after week. And I want to say my respect to Mr. Kerr for using his popularity to send a message to your politicians. His pain and anger should be shared by every human being, regardless of nationality and social class.
As an American let me educate you, this fool is acting emotional to demonize conservatives who respect the 2nd ammendment. I didn't see guys like him talking this way when Black lives matter acted up during the summer of 2020. More people died from that then this shooting. More people die in Chicago every weekend than the lives that were lost in this tragic school shooting. Also important to note is how Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws in the entire U.S.
Thank you for your comments.
Nah, he's just an activist. He he cared he wouldn't have protested against armed guards in schools.
If he spoke out about the Uyghurs i might take him as sincere. But his paycheck is obviously much more important to him than innocents being killed.
@@mikehunt3596 dude what the fuck are you talking about he’s obviously speaking from his heart and there was nothing wrong with what he said please tell me the problem you have with his speech
When an honorable man speaks, we need to listen. Even before this, I always knew Steve Kerr is a great man. Thank you Steve Kerr, the world is a better place with you in it.
He’s a loud mouth liberal. I can’t even listen to agenda filled rants and won’t listen to this one.
@@ATP360 regardless of what he is, do you think that the voices you listen to aren't filled with agendas?
He spews lies as always. Background checks are required to buy guns. This shooter had no prior record or mental health history. 85% of school shootings are guns obtained, not purchased.
@Pastor Craig They worship anyone that agrees with their agenda
Smh.. you really believe this horrible acting performance🤔?
Kudos 🙌
Before y’all run your mouth saying he is an over dramatic celebrity…his father was murdered….shot to death….so this is a touchy topic for Steve
This is such a sad tragedy. We need to keep our citizens safe. This is unacceptable. God, bless us.

Yes bless us all like he did those kids 🙏 honestly fuck God right now, that was a shitty move from The Creator
Metal detectors and security guards would help tremendously.
@@MJScoutArchMar Just consider how sad it is that this has become a country where something like this is considered as a solution for what is happening in our grade schools. When I was 10 years old, my biggest concern was getting depantsed by the school bully on the playground at recess. Kids (and teachers) these days can't be sure some maniac isn't going to burst into their classroom and murder them.
Amen
No it doesnt. Metal detectors were set up in my old school back in 2002-2005ish and a shooting occured there not too long ago. Look it up its Heritage Highschool in Virginia
A teary-eyed Steve Kerr pounding the table shouting "when are we going to do something?!?"
That's the sentiment that is echoed by every parent in this country right now, myself included.
Have armed, competent individuals in all schools to thwart these evil individuals. You can't control guns, so control the environment, it's a terrible truth that hate and pure evil is becoming more prevalent in this country. Knowing there is someone in that school that will kill them and not bat an eye is a great deterrent.....
Our school has armed teachers. Background check rules mean jack shit. This kid bought it legally. Shit happens
How bout get rid of assault rifles and hand gun? Maybe that works.
@@mhartung8335 In my humble opinion, you absolutely CAN control guns! I don't see these terrible tragedies happening in Europe as it does in the States. On this side of the pond tragedies like this one are very rare. And it is not because we have less angry, evil human beings here. It is because firearms (and automatic weapons) are not easily accessible.

This is the man that stood up to Jordan and hit back when everyone else ran scared. He's always had a spine of steel. To watch him be so moved and motional is heartbreaking. I am glad he is not numb to the situation like so many have become.
He's an ill-informed emo with no brains. This "man" Kerr also called for the end of armed security guards in schools. Hindsight being 20/20 but one guess at one thing that could have saved those kids' lives.
Doesn't stand up to China...
Who is numb? Everyone wants to save lives. One side is just more informed about how to do that, while the other side is emotional and rash. The same reason an officer can't investigate crimes that involve their families. Their emotions carry too much weight for them to be effective and rational.
@@googleplaynow9608 the gun liberty way has been tried for a few decades now and i aint no expert but it does not seem to work. what Kerr is talking about wont be a silver bullet but combined with other measures it will reduces gun violence.
@@googleplaynow9608 Are you sure that everyone wants to save lives? Because there is one side that doesn't even want to enact stricter gun laws and caters to the NRA. Even the most simple thing as universal background checks. In fact some states are making it easier for just anyone to buy a gun. Texas is one of those states which is where this tragedy happened.
This is why I love Steve Kerr, that was such a strong speech and everything he said was 100% true. It’s all those senators wanting to keep power. You can tell he’s so pissed off and I don’t blame him. This is getting ridiculous.
