Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr responded to the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday by calling for more gun control.
“When are we going to do something!” exclaimed Kerr. “I’m tired, I’m so tired of getting up here and then offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there and I’m so tired of the moments of silence. Enough!”
“There are 50 senators right now who refuse to vote on HR8, which is a background check rule that the house passed a couple of years ago. It has been sitting there for two years and there was a reason why they won’t vote on it. To hold on to the power,” he asserted. Kerr virtually repeated statements he made following the Sacramento shooting in April, which, as Awr Hawkins, occurred despite the fact that California already passed the very laws that Kerr proposes.
In his impassioned speech on Tuesday, Kerr admitted to feeling “fed up” with the current state of affairs and challenged people to break out of their moments of silence.
