Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr opened up about advocating for
gun control in an interview Tuesday, saying he believes young voters will
deliver change on the issue.
Kerr, an outspoken critic of President Trump and his administration, told
the Mercury News he believes that the representatives in Congress have
views that dont reflect those of Americans and it will be the younger
generation to vote out the politicians who dont agree with their views on
gun control.
FLASHBACK: GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS COACH STEVE KERR SOMETIMES FEELS
'PATRONIZED' BY 'NATIONALISTIC' MILITARY DISPLAYS
What is happening is, especially for March for Our Lives, there is a
group of young people fed up with all of these school shootings, Kerr
said. They are setting up these chapters all over the country. What each
chapter is trying to do is get people to vote.
He added that reason why the U.S. doesnt have sensible gun laws is
because of the National Rifle Associations power over politicians and
elections.
The reason we dont have sensible gun laws is the NRA has always been
really powerful and has always funded elections at the grassroots level.
Now these groups that Im talking about are actually starting to fund
elections themselves. So as the money evens out and influence evens out,
these younger generations are going to impose the will of the people, he
told the paper.
Kerr added: The vast majority of people dont think AR-15s should be
allowed in the hands of a citizen. Or high-capacity magazines. They want
background checks, as I mentioned. So the hope lies in people voting in
good conscience for the protection and safety and each other and not some
crazed, fringe viewpoint that somehow our freedom is tied to our right to
an AR-15.
Kerr, who won five NBA titles as a player and three as a coach, has been a
supporter of strict gun control laws and was affected by gun violence
himself when he was younger. Kerrs father was shot and killed in Beirut,
Lebanon, in 1984 by a group associated with the Islamic Holy War.
Since becoming the Warriors head coach, hes talked to many families
affected by shootings in Parkland, Florida, Aurora, Colorado and Las
Vegas.
According to the Denver Post, he told a group of students last year he
wanted to save lives.
Im here because Im a citizen of this country and we live in a
democracy. I feel like its my responsibility to speak on some of the
things happening in the world today, he said.
How about targeting behavior, Steve. That's the real problem.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in

parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)

compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
