Who gives a sh!t? Being a victim doesn't make you automatically right. Those people were JUST shot, and this guy is assuming some bill that no one has read would have stopped it from happening. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE ALL THE FACTS! There's literally still kids dying in the hospital and this guy is pushing some bill that may not have done anything to stop.
It's about time these oxygen thieves known as politicians are called out because they don't like the other party. I'm so sick and (expletive) tired of them, one and all!!!!!!! They are pathetic! God Bless the families and the school officials.
I don’t hear them leftists saying much when black kids are getting killed…oh wait only when the shooter is white. Steve is a leftist. This is what he supports. What else do you expect when chaos is instilled into our society the last 2 years?
Have news for him, they’re already our background checks. Also stricter gun laws were affected, Chicago would be the safest city in the country! Hello, it’s not
I absolutely love that man's raw and honest reaction. He talks absolute truth. Some want to deny it but History will prove it. Sending love to this man.
How many school shootings happened under Trump? Go back and look. Now its a weekly occurrence under Biden. War, massive inflation, and a pending economic collapse all under Biden. Now they want to restrict firearms so you can't defend yourself. It was the very first thing mentioned after it happened, not better mental health care, or better school security
What conversation do you hear them talking about Buffalo anymore. It's sad it's real sad but the story's gonna go away in 2 weeks on less. And you want me to go out and vote for those clowns politicians.
You ain't taking my guns. We keep armed guards outside of government buildings to keep them protected but we don't want to protect our children and our future with armed guards?
He is not right we need more security in schools we have back round checks for gun sales. Also the shooter was 18 how did he get a handgun it was not legally obtained
Mad respect for Steve Kerr on speaking up on this tragedy. Right now as I type this my Little nephew laying next to me playing on his tablet and I can not imagine anything bad happening to him. We all need to stand up before it hits home or close to your neighborhood God forbid !
If the 2nd Amendment is removed from the Constitution, your worst possible nightmare lies on the other side of such a decision; Neo-Marxist totalitarian Martial Law, that will make the current Police brutality child-play by comparison. Let's see how smart you all are then.
Beyond heartbreaking man….lives lost, bring tears and heartache, outside of playing elite level sports I also coach young kids, and they’re losing them is like losing a piece of yourself. Praying for the community, parents, families, the school, everyone!
I’m a die hard Miami Heat fan, and Steve Kerr just won me over as a fan of his, and the organization. Class personified, respectable man. This world is cruel, but our children aren’t contributors to the evil, they are victims. Yet today, they physically fell victim and evil triumphed and they lost their place on this earth. Love your neighbor, respect the innocent and defenseless. Spread love, not hate, It’s no longer God Bless America, it’s God bless our Earth. We are one. The pandemic should have illustrated how equal we all are.
This "man" screaming like a petulant child won you over. Pathetic. He yells like there are no laws for purchasing gun. Educate yourself on the subject before emotionally attaching yourself to a fool.
Makes me appreciate being australian, we had 1 mass shooting 30 years ago and immediatly put tough gun laws in place. We havent had a mass shooting since
I'm a 51 year old American and it wasn't always like this. What happened is that in the 1960s, welfare laws were changed and far more women were having children with the fathers absent. That resulted in far more children ending up in crime, drugs, and poverty. Furthermore, mental illness is a major problem here, and because of the extreme political power of the pharmaceutical industry, we have an over prescription of psychiatric drugs that make people more violent. To top it off, it's become such a volatile political issue in our two party system, which means that it's almost impossible to do anything to make the situation better. It's a vicious cycle that it's going to be very hard to break out of. There are countries with little gun control and little gun violence, countries with little gun control and heavy gun violence, countries with heavy gun control and little gun violence, and heavy gun control and heavy gun violence. The problem with the left wing in America is that they only focus on the gun. I try to focus on what makes one human being want to kill another, and why that's happened far more now amid more than 20,000 gun laws in the country than it did two generations ago when we had almost no gun laws.
@@rcourtney3 ppl don't understand if this dude was a felon then he had to get it off the streets. If he was not then he could buy a gun. For some reason ppl Think that all gun owners are gonna snap.. I don't get it. Also how you gonna tell someone no bc they may comit a crime. These ppl have no idea and if they pass a background check zero reason to not give him the gun. Gun owners should work with psychics to help prevent mass shootings
I live in Canada, and this didn't just bring me to tears; I'm full on sobbing rn. These deaths are completely inexcusable. Even from another country with comprehensive gun regulations, I feel the same desperation and helplessness y'all are feeling. I am sorry your country and representatives have failed you, and I'm sending all my empathy and love from across the border.
@@Goldenboy48 That's not his fault blame the leaders of those said communities for not acting accordingly they're the one on charge at least Steve is using his social status to make these terrible incidences to stop
This brought tears to my eyes 😢 As a mother to a 2nd grader, I can't imagine dropping him off at school and never seeing him again. My heart hurts for those parents and families affected by this senseless act of violence. Innocent babies shot to death 😢😢😢😢😢
I respect Coach Kerr for speaking up about this in this manner. Thank you. We need more people with platforms to stop being scared and just speak up for what is right.
at this point you can’t be surprised about the stuff that happens here in america because of the illegal guns and no control over the guns. he’s right, the senators don’t do crap about the situation. he’s a goat for calling out turtle neck mitch
We will never make progress with Republicans. They are too busy trying to criminalize abortion than caring about the ones that are actually alive, or at least were.
I have been a fan of Steve Kerr since I was a young child. When he played for the Chicago Bulls which is my hometown team. I am glad that he stood up for what he believes in.
It's even sadder that an NBA coach had to call out all the senators on their BS. God Bless You Steve Kerr, Praying for US All in this twisted world we're living in🙏💕
Brave,courageous, empathetic and from the heart. A leader who pointed to the right way not the wrong way. I don’t know him, I’m not into basketball but this guy said it straight. If only more Americans were like him. He only wants to save his country from the curse of guns.
This country, the greatest country on the face of the earth, was only made possible by the gun in the hands of patriots. The gun made it possible for us to free ourselves from tyrants who tried to take our guns away and it will keep us free into perpetuity no matter how much you wish that wasn't so. Guns aren't a curse, they are what makes freedom possible. A gun by itself will not kill anyone or anything, we are cursed with evil humans among us and I, like the majority of Americans, want to keep our guns so I can protect myself and my family from such human garbage. Thank God the majority of Americans are not like the ignorant man in this video. Or like you for that matter.
HE JUST COACHED BASKETBALL!! The incident DID NOT occur mid game!! He MADE SURE to fulfill his contractual obligations so he could get paid THEN claimed "The thing I just did is irrelevant" but not explaining WHY HE DID SOMETHING IRRELEVANT!!!! Milwaukee forefieting/postponed a game due to virtue signalling...
You mean hypocrite.. look at the list of deaths in America.it’s not guns! So where’s the outrage to stop those items?cars, smoking and medical MALPRACTICE to name a few. Hypocrites abound today
This is a really good idea but it would be so hard to pull off. Plus it would be so hard to coordinate. Think about it. There are hundreds of millions of people in America and some of those people are really tall and others are really short. Many people are simply not tall enough to touch shoulders with tall people. Plus, there are millions of old people in nursing homes. Think of all the people that are in intenseive care. Do we really want to be taking people out of hospice and prop them up like this? Not to mention all the infants and toddlers. I guess toddlers and old people in wheel chairs could be placed on platforms so that their shoulders would be at the right level to touch shoulders with the people on either side of them but it would be so difficult to coordinate this. You would have so many toddlers crawling off platforms. Plus, who is going to pay for all the travel expenses??
And I now have MY flag also at Half-Mass in honor of the fallen children, teachers, and the entire community of Ulvade. As well as for the Tops Grocery store shooting victims in Buffalo, NY. May God's Loving Strength and Courage with All those who have lost loved ones to Senseless crime. ❤ 😢 We have got to get back to our morals in this country - IF we still have any at all.
@@bamarazdblubred Oh, I feel so dumb... I see what you mean. I think this is probably a little easier to pull off. But still tricky to get everyone on the same page. Which book are you thinking?
Steve Kerr touched on something that made a lot of us who have lost family to gun violence relive a somber truth: It’s time people care as much about people getting shot as they do a basketball, because right now they don’t.
Where is all the daily care about our open borders allowing thousands of illegal guns into our nation.? Where is the daily care about kids in Chicago getting shot everyday from black on black violence?
Mad respect to you Mr. Kerr. Stay safe. Hopefully “they” don’t try to go after your profession or life. I wish we could protect our schools as good as we protect their banks.
@@2FadeMusic Solve what issue? This guy murdered his grandma and bunch of innocent kids. Please explain why that bill Kerr just told me to vote for would have stopped that.
He’s not overreacting, even if he didn’t lose his father to gun violence… that isn’t an overreaction, 14 children and an adult were murdered, I didn’t shed a tear, I’m numb to it just like the majority of us, we gotta try and wake up and do something, I understand why everyone reading this probably won’t, the world is so bleak and full of tragedy that it’s hard to care about anything other than yourself because there’s a tragedy every other day, just apart of daily life at this point.
If a person must be at least 21 years of age to purchase alcohol and tobacco ...doesn't it make perfect sense for a person to be at least 21 years of age to purchase a weapon?
@@jasonmillette1057 Along with medical evaluation and weapons of war like aka47 ar15 etc. stay in military possession only. Sadly I own many such weapons but using them other than target practice or protection
I am so proud to have him represent our Bay Area. Love you so much for using your platform to speak up, Kerr. I know this hits home for you, but regardless, you are feeling grand sympathy and empathy for everyone else who have also been affected. Love you so much. Please stick around in this lifetime as long as you possibly can. 💜
Man Imagine going back to school having trauma, and knowing that your friend, classmate and teacher were no longer here . Man this is sad , Young lives gone too soon , RIP for all those who died.
Most of those kids will probably be homeschooled for the rest of their childhood. On top of the trauma, their parents are never going to let them out of their sight. They may have survived, but their childhood is over. It's so sad to see.
As a young adult in my 20’s born in America with no children yet, situations like these make me want to start a family elsewhere, and it’s sad I’m even thinking like this 😔
I’m right there with you. 28 and thinking of taking the future wife and kids out of this crap country. Literally the most self destructive environment in America
I understand what you are saying. I am a teacher and what happened touched my heart and soul in ways I cannot describe. Fortunately I don't live in america. My husband reassured me that this will not happen in Canada. Indeed, I feel safe here in our country. I am so sad for Americans though. This is not a way to live. Especially for young children. I thank God my son was born here and is safe from all this gun violence.
@Hareem Ahmad I’m a US citizen and it’s still hard. Basically need to be moving there with the sponsorship of a company. Or I’m sure there are other ways but I wasn’t to serious about it. But you can’t just got walk across the boarder and declare yourself a citizen unfortunately lol.
While what happens sucks, Kerr is not changing a darn thing . He's actually in favor of taking guns out good guys hands and making it harder. That doesn't help the situation. Closing the DAMN southern border would help more
@@mervinhocsonart1921 you are correct for this instance BUT that doesn't stop the fact there are thousands of guns being smuggled across our porous border every month. Where do I think those guns go to sir? And what else can you propose to curb these mass shootings? Taking guns from law abiding citizens is NOT the way or the answer. So what then?
@@R7-_- just because his family was directly affected by such an incident does not make what he is saying correct (if that is what you are getting at) in legislation. I'm not saying he is wrong or right I'm just pointing out the fallacy. Also I don't think we should be listening to a basketball coach on policy any more seriously than a average person on the street. People need to stop putting these people up on a pedestal, especially if they don't specialize in what they are talking about.
@@CoolGuy-hh4lgwhat a pathetic take lol . The people who specialize in all this crap don’t give a dam about what just happens . I’m taking someone who has experienced this over all these fake experts
Steve is a genuine guy. The mix of the emerging mental health problem among young men in this country and the extreme ease of getting a gun/ammo is a horrible and deadly combination. Both need to be addressed! Not just one or the other.
Also the websites that hold our mentally ill youths hostage just to bring their ratings up! Kids have enough of a hard time, we don't need conspiracy theories and hatred pushed on them by the dark web!
100%. It’s not just one thing as each party thinks. This should not be about party lines. It’s about real lives and in real life there are multi factors to consider in order to solve a problem
I agree we need to address mental health and that’s it’s a huge issue in the United States based on culture, massive structural problems, lack of community support, and a lack of access to care but the solution to the gun problem is to address the ease of getting a gun. Most people who commit violence with a firearm would not be deemed as clinically mentally ill. I don’t like when people bring up mental health in this context, because addressing all mental health wouldn’t solve all gun violence. You address gun violence by making it more difficult to get guns. By conflating the 2 as the same problem, you play into the hands of the people trying to obscure the conversation around gun legislation to prevent this type of thing from happening again. They’re not the same problem. They’re certainly related, in that someone mentally unwell is far more volatile and dangerous with the power of a deadly weapon, but someone who is not clinically “mentally ill” with bad intentions is just as dangerous, if not more so because they’re more in control of their actions and act less on compulsion, so their violence is more premeditated and they rationalize it to themselves more. If we want to reduce gun violence, we should pass legislation to address gun violence. If we want to address mental illness, we should address that with legislation. But the easiest thing to do is to stop giving our deadly weapons like they’re just some toy.
Steve Kerr, is the Senate really to be blamed, please enlightened me. In my opinion we have to develop a strong rules and regulations about issuing a deadly weapon for all mankind. Is that hard to do. Only the peacemaker have the authority to have guns. Like in the old times but with more knowledge environment. 🙏🙏🙏
America 🇺🇸 needs to get a grip about guns! It’s ridiculous! The right to bare arms my arse! Think about the future of America not the past! Old farts at the NRA need ousting 😡
God blees you Steve Kerr. You are so right and MILLIONS of Americans have your back on this. REGARDLESS of party. This is heartbreaking here with the kids and the innocent older American citizens in Buffalo NY. It's just too much.
What about the SUV victims in Wisconsin? Black guy used his SUV to plow thru dozens of innocent people at a Christmas parade! 50+ injured, half dozen killed!
@@BST-lm4po That's not right either. None of it is right! But enough is enough. They are killing little kids, and senior citizens in Uvalde TX and Buffalo NY. And Republican "senators" are getting MILLIONS from the NRA! WTF!
@@BST-lm4po all of those events are hoaxes bro & stop letting those Media demons to control your perception of things. How many millions done the abortions clinic murdered? + Vaccines n big pharma ?
*I'm glad that he said what needed to be said and he communicated it beautifully. Thanks for having a heart Steve Kerr . My condolences to Kerr and what happened to his father and to the dozens of children who were massacred because this country has such a backwards-banana stance on automatic gun control and universal mental health care.*
I agree with Steve Kerr. Texas should adopt guns laws like Chicago, the toughest in the nation, where theyve only suffered 204 murder victims from guns so far in 2022. How clownish can one get? Oh that's right, facts don't matter when virtue signaling.
He uses this moment to aggrandize and to make political statements. He really doesn't have any integrity or love at all. He is nothing but a political hack.
Kerr is so right. He’s not only a good coach but a good human being. The senators aren’t doing anything. They want all the power they can get. Anyone who thinks differently is wrong
@@MGAF688 here is your moment then offer something of value! Because I think he is offering something awareness to the fact that there is a prop that hasn’t been passed.
Do “something”?…..like what? Banning things or making them illegal doesn’t work for drugs or violent crime. And lay out step by step how that will play out…..I’ll wait.
What are we doing. As a retired cop my heart is devastated. 18 children are dead. The one who killed them is an 18 years old kid. How did he get an access to the gun. What are we doing? It's enough, I have a 5 years old and I will not send her to school. I will home school her. What are we doing? I am crying as I am venting through this comment 😭 it's time to do something about it. Mitch McConnell and company needs to wake up and stop being politicians. Mitch I am sure you have grand or great grand children. Just put your self in those parents shoes. Pass those darn laws make automatic and semi automatic weapons unaccessable to the general public. Run highly extensive background and mental health checks. Please save our kids our youth and our elderly from these senseless shootings. Do something
Each other country does not understand the weapon laws in USA. The possibility to buy automatic weapons for normal adult people is rediculess. Money eats brain
I wish these issues were as simple as one side is right and the other is wrong. The shooter legally purchased his firearms, and passed the background check because he had no criminal record. If anything, this country needs to deal better with mental health and bullying to prevent the formation of people like the shooter, but that is such a complex issue that people do not really know what to do. I wish I knew how to help children growing up in troubled households, and with physical defects, to grow up normally. As far as can tell from a little research, he grew up with a single mother, and had a stutter which he was bullied for.
This man is a beautiful soul. His words touched me so much. He is so well spoken. I adore him and everything he said! Love to him, his family and all the people effected
Are you gonna put your desire ahead of the lives of these children? Unfirtunately the answer is YES These senators have their balls in the hands of the NRA.
Stop blaming NRA every time a shooting happens Background checks will not stop criminals There's something called a knife, and something called a bomb Both can be used if guns were removed Or did people forget about the boston bomber already ? Blaming NRA or senators does nothing Making guns harder to get does nothing Cartels can easily get guns and sell guns In fact youll just make cartels more money since theyll sell guns and then youll see more violence Same way mafia made money when alchohol was illegal
Apparently Kerr doesn't realize that the Republicans aren't holding any bill hostage. The Democrats control the Senate and the presidency. They can pass any bill that they want. I don't think this so called background check bill would do much good, but the point is that it can be passed without even one Republican vote.
@@mikewhitmore5440 Evil people that have access to semi-automatic weapons that can massacre people quickly. That type of incident is an American problem
this is the same basketball coach who advocated for removing police from school security details and even went so far as to attend rallies to force the issue. In June 2020, Kerr actually attended a rally in Oakland, California, to have police officers barred from acting as security personnel in the Oakland Unified School District. In fact, unlike what he said during his rant about the Senate, during the 2020 school rally, Kerr told folks not to rely on politicians for solutions. “I’ve learned that the answers lie within the communities themselves. They don’t lie in a politicians office,” Kerr bellowed at the time.
Yes, I'm glad that someone else realizes what a shameless, ignorant, self righteous hypocrite Kerr is. He craves the approval of the woke crowd so he runs his mouth off, and their praise gives him a grossly over blown sense of self importance, so he keeps it up. He wanted kids in Oakland - one of the most violent cities in the country - to have no protection at school. He promoted at atmosphere that makes kids sitting ducks at the mercy of psychopaths. Imagine if even one cop had been in the school at Uvalde yesterday.
YOU ARE SO RIGHT COACH KERR!!! ITS SAD REALLY SAD!!! THEY DO NOT CARE!!! DEEPEST COLODENCES TO FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOST LOVED ONES IN SUCH HORRIFIC VIOLENCE.😢
A moving speech, very authentic and outspoken. I live in Europe, but I would like to see it really make a difference this time. Unfortunately, I lack faith that anything will change. The reasons have been given by Steve Kerr and it is really staggering. So many people have lost their lives here, 19 children!!! What else is going to happen to make people finally change their minds? Is the right to own a weapon really more important than the lives of children? I would wish that one of the politicians, who are responsible here, expresses this once exactly: Yes, this right is more important, than the life of your children! Where are the priorities there? I am far away, but it moves me to tears when I see this. Overreaction? How can anyone overreact to such an occasion? What else is more important than the lives of our children? The families have my deepest condolences.
Unfortunately it will never change over here in the US. We have a crippling combination of ignorance, selfishness, corruption, and stupidity that would take decades to course correct. Just check this comment section. You have people saying they are ok with child murder as long as they can keep their freedoms. You have people asking to arm the teachers so they can get into gun fights with the murderers. You have people gaslighting about gun laws that are already in place while not mentioning the gun show loop hole. We are a country of bad actors and selfish narcissists.
That's what hurt me the most and I'm up here in Canada. I was outside playing with my daughter when I checked my phone and got word.....I couldn't help but tear up. I know we have far less of thus but it does happen here too. And the way it's getting its only getting worse without action. Really makes me wanna not send my daughter to school rather go through the trouble of acquiring home schooling then go through something like this. So sad.
His father was assassinated by silenced handguns... so this is raw emotion that he really experienced and thank you Steve Kerr for coming up with a gameplan.
“Let’s have a moment of silence, go dubs” it’s not really funny, but man is that true. It’s like we’re supposed to get used to this mass shootings happening frequently.
Sure, a certain group of politicians just love to see kids murdered in schools (sarcasm) . You're delusional, just because someone disagrees on let's say gun laws does not mean they don't actively fight for the safety of our children. Stop repeating the same old talking points and turning this into a political thing. The families impacted were from both sides of aisle. This isn't one side or the other, all Americans want to see this resolved, but it isn't "support your exact view on gun legislation or you're evil"
One has nothing to do with the other. You can support an unborn child's right to life and believe that the legislation that Kerr is calling for will be ineffective. And by the way, the media is conveniently not reporting that less than two years ago, Kerr led a successful movement to get police taken out of schools in Oakland, one of the most violent cities in the country. Imagine if even one cop had been at that school in Uvalde.
Thank you coach! We need more like you to speak up to government. This is horrific . Should never happen here . That’s right!! When are you government going to do something. Praise this coach for standing up !! 😢😢
Why did Kerr walk out like that? I can personally feel his frustration! Senators please do something about gun violence. It's taking away our children, parents, brothers, sister, and our elderly. 😢😭
I consider myself a Republican, but there is one issue in which I agree with most democrats. That is this very issue and it desperately needs to stop. We can't have crazy people running around like this, regardless of their motives and political affiliations. This must end now.
Party lines don’t matter when babies are getting gunned down. Red or blue we are all humans. Hope we get some sort of action on this…not holding my breath though.

If you like football (soccer) check out Liverpool’s coach Jurgen Klopp. He is as straightforward as Steve Kerr on social issues.
This "man" screaming like a petulant child won you over. Pathetic. He yells like there are no laws for purchasing gun. Educate yourself on the subject before emotionally attaching yourself to a fool.
Amen ❤️❤️ n rip beautiful souls
Makes me appreciate being australian, we had 1 mass shooting 30 years ago and immediatly put tough gun laws in place. We havent had a mass shooting since
I'm a 51 year old American and it wasn't always like this. What happened is that in the 1960s, welfare laws were changed and far more women were having children with the fathers absent. That resulted in far more children ending up in crime, drugs, and poverty. Furthermore, mental illness is a major problem here, and because of the extreme political power of the pharmaceutical industry, we have an over prescription of psychiatric drugs that make people more violent. To top it off, it's become such a volatile political issue in our two party system, which means that it's almost impossible to do anything to make the situation better. It's a vicious cycle that it's going to be very hard to break out of.
There are countries with little gun control and little gun violence, countries with little gun control and heavy gun violence, countries with heavy gun control and little gun violence, and heavy gun control and heavy gun violence. The problem with the left wing in America is that they only focus on the gun. I try to focus on what makes one human being want to kill another, and why that's happened far more now amid more than 20,000 gun laws in the country than it did two generations ago when we had almost no gun laws.
Well said Steve. Prayers go out to the families in all three cases. Peace to the world.
Thank you Coach for saying what MILLIONS of people want to say.
Its entirely incorrect that background checks would affect this situation at all, but I get his overall concern.
You realize background checks are already required right numbnuts

Think that all gun owners are gonna snap.. I don't get it. Also how you gonna tell someone no bc they may comit a crime. These ppl have no idea and if they pass a background check zero reason to not give him the gun. Gun owners should work with psychics to help prevent mass shootings

Brave,courageous, empathetic and from the heart. A leader who pointed to the right way not the wrong way. I don’t know him, I’m not into basketball but this guy said it straight. If only more Americans were like him. He only wants to save his country from the curse of guns.
This country, the greatest country on the face of the earth, was only made possible by the gun in the hands of patriots. The gun made it possible for us to free ourselves from tyrants who tried to take our guns away and it will keep us free into perpetuity no matter how much you wish that wasn't so. Guns aren't a curse, they are what makes freedom possible. A gun by itself will not kill anyone or anything, we are cursed with evil humans among us and I, like the majority of Americans, want to keep our guns so I can protect myself and my family from such human garbage. Thank God the majority of Americans are not like the ignorant man in this video. Or like you for that matter.
And what happened? Nothing has changed. Almost everybody has forgotten about it - until the next shooting.

This is a really good idea but it would be so hard to pull off. Plus it would be so hard to coordinate. Think about it. There are hundreds of millions of people in America and some of those people are really tall and others are really short. Many people are simply not tall enough to touch shoulders with tall people. Plus, there are millions of old people in nursing homes. Think of all the people that are in intenseive care. Do we really want to be taking people out of hospice and prop them up like this? Not to mention all the infants and toddlers. I guess toddlers and old people in wheel chairs could be placed on platforms so that their shoulders would be at the right level to touch shoulders with the people on either side of them but it would be so difficult to coordinate this. You would have so many toddlers crawling off platforms. Plus, who is going to pay for all the travel expenses??

@@CoolGuy-hh4lgwhat a pathetic take lol . The people who specialize in all this crap don’t give a dam about what just happens . I’m taking someone who has experienced this over all these fake experts
Steve is a genuine guy. The mix of the emerging mental health problem among young men in this country and the extreme ease of getting a gun/ammo is a horrible and deadly combination. Both need to be addressed! Not just one or the other.
Also the websites that hold our mentally ill youths hostage just to bring their ratings up! Kids have enough of a hard time, we don't need conspiracy theories and hatred pushed on them by the dark web!
100%. It’s not just one thing as each party thinks. This should not be about party lines. It’s about real lives and in real life there are multi factors to consider in order to solve a problem
"The mix of the emerging mental health problem among young men" also an indication for some other structural problems, this country obviously has.
I agree we need to address mental health and that’s it’s a huge issue in the United States based on culture, massive structural problems, lack of community support, and a lack of access to care
but the solution to the gun problem is to address the ease of getting a gun. Most people who commit violence with a firearm would not be deemed as clinically mentally ill.
I don’t like when people bring up mental health in this context, because addressing all mental health wouldn’t solve all gun violence. You address gun violence by making it more difficult to get guns. By conflating the 2 as the same problem, you play into the hands of the people trying to obscure the conversation around gun legislation to prevent this type of thing from happening again.
They’re not the same problem. They’re certainly related, in that someone mentally unwell is far more volatile and dangerous with the power of a deadly weapon, but someone who is not clinically “mentally ill” with bad intentions is just as dangerous, if not more so because they’re more in control of their actions and act less on compulsion, so their violence is more premeditated and they rationalize it to themselves more.
If we want to reduce gun violence, we should pass legislation to address gun violence. If we want to address mental illness, we should address that with legislation. But the easiest thing to do is to stop giving our deadly weapons like they’re just some toy.
Steve Kerr, is the Senate really to be blamed, please enlightened me. In my opinion we have to develop a strong rules and regulations about issuing a deadly weapon for all mankind. Is that hard to do. Only the peacemaker have the authority to have guns. Like in the old times but with more knowledge environment. 🙏🙏🙏

Do “something”?…..like what?
Banning things or making them illegal doesn’t work for drugs or violent crime. And lay out step by step how that will play out…..I’ll wait.
What are we doing. As a retired cop my heart is devastated. 18 children are dead. The one who killed them is an 18 years old kid. How did he get an access to the gun. What are we doing? It's enough, I have a 5 years old and I will not send her to school. I will home school her. What are we doing? I am crying as I am venting through this comment 😭 it's time to do something about it. Mitch McConnell and company needs to wake up and stop being politicians. Mitch I am sure you have grand or great grand children. Just put your self in those parents shoes. Pass those darn laws make automatic and semi automatic weapons unaccessable to the general public. Run highly extensive background and mental health checks. Please save our kids our youth and our elderly from these senseless shootings. Do something

@@Sachertortehmmlecker Unless you are including Semi-automatic in that definition Americans cannot buy them either.
Stop making it about politics clown
I wish these issues were as simple as one side is right and the other is wrong. The shooter legally purchased his firearms, and passed the background check because he had no criminal record. If anything, this country needs to deal better with mental health and bullying to prevent the formation of people like the shooter, but that is such a complex issue that people do not really know what to do. I wish I knew how to help children growing up in troubled households, and with physical defects, to grow up normally. As far as can tell from a little research, he grew up with a single mother, and had a stutter which he was bullied for.
Respect to you Coach 👊 someone needs to say it!

Are you gonna put your desire ahead of the lives of these children?
Unfirtunately the answer is YES
These senators have their balls in the hands of the NRA.
I'm a democrat but its not just those 50 republicans who are whores of the NRA
Stop blaming NRA every time a shooting happens
Background checks will not stop criminals
There's something called a knife, and something called a bomb
Both can be used if guns were removed
Or did people forget about the boston bomber already ?
Blaming NRA or senators does nothing
Making guns harder to get does nothing
Cartels can easily get guns and sell guns
In fact youll just make cartels more money since theyll sell guns and then youll see more violence
Same way mafia made money when alchohol was illegal
Apparently Kerr doesn't realize that the Republicans aren't holding any bill hostage. The Democrats control the Senate and the presidency. They can pass any bill that they want. I don't think this so called background check bill would do much good, but the point is that it can be passed without even one Republican vote.

Wow, so impressed, I never comment on anything, but this needs it. Brought me to tears. This stuff needs to stop.
this is the same basketball coach who advocated for removing police from school security details and even went so far as to attend rallies to force the issue.
In June 2020, Kerr actually attended a rally in Oakland, California, to have police officers barred from acting as security personnel in the Oakland Unified School District.
In fact, unlike what he said during his rant about the Senate, during the 2020 school rally, Kerr told folks not to rely on politicians for solutions.
“I’ve learned that the answers lie within the communities themselves. They don’t lie in a politicians office,” Kerr bellowed at the time.
Yes, I'm glad that someone else realizes what a shameless, ignorant, self righteous hypocrite Kerr is. He craves the approval of the woke crowd so he runs his mouth off, and their praise gives him a grossly over blown sense of self importance, so he keeps it up. He wanted kids in Oakland - one of the most violent cities in the country - to have no protection at school. He promoted at atmosphere that makes kids sitting ducks at the mercy of psychopaths. Imagine if even one cop had been in the school at Uvalde yesterday.
Thank you Steve Kerr. Prayers and love to everyone involved.

A moving speech, very authentic and outspoken. I live in Europe, but I would like to see it really make a difference this time. Unfortunately, I lack faith that anything will change. The reasons have been given by Steve Kerr and it is really staggering. So many people have lost their lives here, 19 children!!! What else is going to happen to make people finally change their minds? Is the right to own a weapon really more important than the lives of children? I would wish that one of the politicians, who are responsible here, expresses this once exactly: Yes, this right is more important, than the life of your children! Where are the priorities there? I am far away, but it moves me to tears when I see this. Overreaction? How can anyone overreact to such an occasion? What else is more important than the lives of our children? The families have my deepest condolences.
Unfortunately it will never change over here in the US. We have a crippling combination of ignorance, selfishness, corruption, and stupidity that would take decades to course correct. Just check this comment section. You have people saying they are ok with child murder as long as they can keep their freedoms. You have people asking to arm the teachers so they can get into gun fights with the murderers. You have people gaslighting about gun laws that are already in place while not mentioning the gun show loop hole. We are a country of bad actors and selfish narcissists.
False equivalency. Educate yourself and be honest, and I believe ‘the other side’ will respond in like.

Sure, a certain group of politicians just love to see kids murdered in schools (sarcasm) . You're delusional, just because someone disagrees on let's say gun laws does not mean they don't actively fight for the safety of our children. Stop repeating the same old talking points and turning this into a political thing.
The families impacted were from both sides of aisle. This isn't one side or the other, all Americans want to see this resolved, but it isn't "support your exact view on gun legislation or you're evil"

One has nothing to do with the other. You can support an unborn child's right to life and believe that the legislation that Kerr is calling for will be ineffective. And by the way, the media is conveniently not reporting that less than two years ago, Kerr led a successful movement to get police taken out of schools in Oakland, one of the most violent cities in the country. Imagine if even one cop had been at that school in Uvalde.
@@leczorn well these W need to stop getting knocked up by bad boys
Steve Kerr= mood
♥️ stop the hate, stop the violence, stop the violence
Thank you coach! We need more like you to speak up to government. This is horrific . Should never happen here . That’s right!! When are you government going to do something. Praise this coach for standing up !! 😢😢
My respect to Steve Kerr for speaking up the truth may God bless him and his family 😥
Why did Kerr walk out like that? I can personally feel his frustration! Senators please do something about gun violence. It's taking away our children, parents, brothers, sister, and our elderly. 😢😭
Sometimes adults are way more childish and unwise than children. Death ain't matter before their throne.
I consider myself a Republican, but there is one issue in which I agree with most democrats. That is this very issue and it desperately needs to stop. We can't have crazy people running around like this, regardless of their motives and political affiliations. This must end now.
Party lines don’t matter when babies are getting gunned down. Red or blue we are all humans. Hope we get some sort of action on this…not holding my breath though.
Here we go with the Republican vs Democrat talk. Babies just died.
Busting guns
@@MrMetaylo and democrats are using it to push agendas. just like they are using children as the arrowhead for their gender ideologies. everything is republican vs democrat. stop living in a fantasy world where it isnt.
then youre not a republican. if you think democrats are in the right on this issue and you come here to watch emotional liberal celebrities give popular opinions as your source of news or at the very least a source of sound logic then you are a leftist.
