In an impassioned speech just after a school shooting in Texas left at least 19 children and two adults dead on Tuesday, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr criticized the U.S. Senate for failing to vote on background check legislation.

“There’s 50 senators, right now, who refuse to vote on H.R. 8, which is a background check rule that the House passed,” Kerr said ahead of his team’s playoff game versus the Dallas Mavericks in remarks that went viral. “There’s a reason they won’t vote on it: to hold on to power.”

“So I ask you, [Senate Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell, I ask all of you senators who refuse to do anything about the violence and school shootings and supermarket shootings … I ask you, are you going to put your own desire for power ahead of the lives of our children and our elderly and our churchgoers?”

“When are we going to do something?” Kerr added. “I’m so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there. … I’m tired of the moments of silence. Enough!”

Who cares what Michael Jordan’s Marxist teammate wants?

Apparently jerkwd2 does.

That bill would not have prevented any mass shooting!

It is merely an attack on the law-abiding as usual!

It is nothing more than a solution in search of a problem!

We have background checks, and we still have evil psychos.

Quite apparent jw2 and his leftist _________want the 2nd amendment repealed. That easy jw2...elect 290 democrats that will vote for the repeal, 67 Senators and 38 State Legislators. Simple as that...jw2!

JW, how many of the past mass shootings would H.R. 8 have prevented?

[D2D]

Democrats oppose all effective solutions!

HR 8 is a pretty tame piece of legislation, compared to my wish to take all your guns away.  But, I doubt even the events of the last few days will do anything to improve the chances of that legislation passing.

It is totalitarian nothing more and nothing less!

I doubt even the events of the last few days will do anything to improve the chances of that legislation passing.

Nor should it.   Nothing good ever happens whenever we pass knee-jerk legislation in response to an event or emergency.  E.g., Patriot Act, DHS, and Covid lockdowns.
