Steve Kerr Slams The Government Over Gun Control In The Wake Of The Florida High School Shooting: “It Doesn’t Seem To Matter To Our Government That Children Are Being Shot To Death”

Just hours after one of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, who has been a vocal advocate of gun control, condemned the government for its lackadaisical efforts to combat gun control.

“It doesn’t seem to matter to our government that children are being shot to death, day after day in schools,” Kerr said on Wednesday. “It doesn’t matter that people are being shot at a concert, at a movie theater. It’s not enough, apparently, to move our leadership, our government, the people who are running this country to actually do anything. That’s demoralizing.”

Kerr’s stance on the recent mass shooting was no different than his position on the November Texas church shooting or the Las Vegas massacre. However, this time, the coach encouraged the public to make a change and vote people in “who actually have the courage to protect people’s lives.”

“But we can do something about it,” Kerr added. “We can vote people in who actually have the courage to protect people’s lives, not just bow down to the NRA because they’ve financed their campaign for them.

“Hopefully we’ll find enough people, first of all to vote, get people in, but hopefully we’ll find enough people to actually help our citizens remain safe and focus on the real safety issues. Not building some stupid wall for millions of dollars that has nothing to do with our safety, but actually protecting us from what is truly dangerous, which is maniacs with semi-automatic weapons just slaughtering our children. It’s disgusting.”
