I knew about Steve Kerr's dad in Beirut, but I didn't know that both RJ and Perk have parents that passed away because of gun violence. So many losses, so terrible.
i didn't know about perkins or rj either man this is terrible so much tragedies and all they do is give more people (the victims) for reasons to get revenge
So America tbh
The fact that it’s common even amongst the panel goes to show how much of a problem guns are in the US…but NRA and 2nd amendment right?
@Clem Fandango The comment was more focused on the panelists' losses (that I did not know of).
Didn’t know that about Steve’s Kerr’s father. Even more respect for him was gained with that presser
yeah his dad was straight up assassinated it was really sad
I was 19 when it happened, I remember it very well.
Yep... his father was in the process of raising and training students to be humanitarian citizens at the University of Beirut and the local militia HATED Americans and their ideals and so... two men posing as students shot him in the head on his way to a meeting...
it was in the last dance.
Ask Steve why he called for removing police from schools after George Floyd..
Did not now that about Kendrick Perkins. For him to go through all that and still make it to the NBA is amazing. I like him more now as well as Richard Jefferson.
Exactly
Same here, u just never know smh things aren't getting better
I'm from Christchurch, New Zealand. We had a mass shooting in 2018, it was devastating. We changed our gun laws and now a shooting on this scale has not happened since. I understand that it is different in America, but we are past the point of thoughts and prayers. We need change and reform. Thank you Steve Kerr for speaking out. How many more people have to die? It's unbelievable.
We’ve come to a point where i have friends who don’t wanna visit the US b/c they’re scared to get shot. The US has fallen off.
@@codkue5142 Your friends are being ridiculous..Unless you live in inner city Chicago..
@@neogeo2027 thing is they came from sweden this last xmas holiday and were minutes away from the mass shooting around denver. And we were half joking that they were gunna get shot the month before.
@@neogeo2027 There’s a mass shooting, on average, every ten days in our country, my friend.
Sadly I think most people in America have lost a family member to gun violence. I lost a few members in mylife to gun violence. Just recently lost a cousin back in 2020 because he got into a an argument with a man at a sports bar. Life in the wild wild western USA
Thank you Steve Kerr. We need all the influential voices of reason out there to be as outspoken as humanly possible to make the difference. Children shouldn't have to be afraid to go to school.
The only possible answer is to vote out every Republican politician. ALL REPUBLICAN scumbag politicians get NRA donations. 98% of NRA donations go to Republicans - the party of billionaires, money, corporations. VOTE THEM OUT!!!!
Its all politics with Steve.
He has no idea what is talking about. Steve Kerr did not say a word all the times the party he does political activism for has filibustered bills that would secure public schools. What a shitbag.
Where were people like Kerr when the US military bombed Middle East children?
@Jason so why did you comment. Oh and you're right. I really feel no care about what you think. Good job
Im an European and these situations are truly mind blowing to me how it never changes, but how crazy is it that just in this 4 people pannel at least half had a parent or family member lose their lives to gun violence? :( truly shocking how long this is going for with no change, you people have power dont forget!
i wish we could get rid of guns but it's impossible
Guns are not the problem. Don't be naive.
Steve Kerr's father didnt die in USA. Look it up.
@@ianshort2935 true, you can never get rid of all the guns. They need better solutions to control gun violence
@@JasonAnazagasty OP is talking about RJ and Perk.
Wow I feel Perk's feelings about his children's education
Me too. If that’s how they wanna roll....school your kids at home. At least they’ll live to graduate.
@@living9377 yep
Steve Kerr a walking W.
Kerr a walking L in politics... Called for Police to be taken out of schools in the wake of George Floyd. Which is it Steve?.. Whatever wild reactionary thing you feel this week?... You're supposed to be an adult who thinks things through.
A walking dummy you mean
Thank you, Perk. Poignant message.
Didn't know him and Richard Jefferson lost their parents 2 gun violence
Looking at my kids yesterday all in elementary school my heart broke for those parents, I pray to God I never get that call one day.
Take them out, homeschool them. You won't have the daily worry and you know they are safe.
Where was God that day?
@@tonyjr3373 it’s all gods plan, they were taken at a young age cause they were good
@@tonyjr3373 he said this is America, it's what they do over there
Kendrick nails it 💯
Thank you for speaking out!
My prayers go out to the families, teachers, school and children ❤🙏🏾
Thank you for your thoughts but unfortunately this line has become a cliche response...,we need to do more.
@@living9377 gun control failed today, remember that
Prayers and condolences to all those families who lost their children and relatives. America, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!
Quote: "Prayers and condolences to all those families who lost their children and relatives."
That is exactly what the 50 Senators mentioned by Stee Kerr, for example, are content with. But yes: because of your last sentence, I know that is not the case with you.
Yeah! Like lock the doors
Cannot stop EVIL.😎
yeah we need follow Trudeaus example up north and ban guns it has proven gun violence its a shame Bush let that Gun bill expire as well us declaring on war on Iraq for Oil making an excuse WMD's
@@TheHeston83 and when this government attacks us, then what? Half the country has been labeled as terrorists. We have a tyrannical government. And if they try it, there will be civil war.
Well said coach. God Bless these families and community
I'm sure you have good intentions. But it's too late for whatever God blessing there may be! Involving god and religion in this issue is ridiculous!
@@rogerdekeyzer5474 you could be correct.
He’s an idiot and hypocrite
@@rogerdekeyzer5474 U just don’t like religion,sad.
This is one of those issues where like... the whole world's just shaking their heads because of what's going on in the US. I'm so sorry for you guys, I really hope you'll have some sane legislation soon.
Get lost. The 2nd Amendment is absolute. All these basketball players need to dribble the ball and shut up.
@@paulschab8152 An Amendment isn't absolute; you just need a certain majority to change it. And to say that athletes should only do sports and not talk about certain issues is just... super weird dude.
@@jakobbauz Well, if that's the case. I guess the 1st Amendment isn't absolute. Why don't you move to a Communist Country. The mindset you share with the rest of the idiots is destroying our Country.
@@jakobbauz I Guess you think the Bill of Rights is a joke also?
@@paulschab8152 I'm not following..?
How u can buy a gun at 18 but cant buy cigarettes or alcohol?!? At 18 we go thru so many mix emotions that if u have a gun your liable to use it. From girl cheating on u, to u losing your so called bestfriend, to being joked about, or even BULLYING. Raise the age to at least 25 so they can at least recognize their consequence. In the heat of the moment they not thinking jail, being killed.
.
It’s crazy we need a background check to apply for a job and not a background check to apply for a killing tool. WHY IS THAT?
gun regulation doesnt help. look at california. Something needs to change in public schools.
You’re clueless.
At this point gun laws aren't gonna do anything because what's stopping them from illegally obtaining guns if they already plan to carry out illegal activity with it?
@@johi0005 gun owners are entitlement queens. I own guns and I'm willing to do a yearly background and mental health check to keep them and my license. What r u willing to do
@@johi0005 bozo
wow Perkins was really insightful! totally agree!
As I read some of the negative comments, I am convinced that there are a lot of disturbed individuals in this world! When you defend the unnecessary and deflect from reality, something is truly wrong!
They need to uncross their eyes and look at the statistics again. Nothing gets through to these gun zealots.
Yes.
Nationalist and far right group get stronger with violence, that's why they secretly like this situation.
@@austingoyne3039 lol ok
@@austingoyne3039 what stats are you referring to? The 500k to 3 million defensive gun uses per year? Or the 39k gun violence deaths every year.... they're about 40k fatal car accidents every year. Which stats?
its devastating and telling how big gun violence problem in the us is when randomly both RJ's father and KP's mother were killed by guns
Perk says it all. Americans need to change the situation by not voting for those who propagate the status quo and voting for those who want to change things. The gun lobby is powerful, organised and has enough politicians in their pocket. So time to either do something about it or just keep talking and being horrified.
Spot on mate, its super simple. Americans will just keep voting republican MURICA. Kind of a stupidity test at this point and guess what America, you currently getting a F.
Did you see us send all of those guns to Ukraine so the civilians there could fight the Russians? We will never be in that situation.
He know it’s not the laws,it’s the people.
This was a really good piece.
Kerr was amazing....if only every American in his right mind would react like this!!!
Unfortunately, some Americans are in a bad place mentally, and they shoot their grandma and a classroom of kids. Kerr’s message indicates that Republican policies can shift gun violence. If he has some answers to the problem, we are listening. The killer passed the necessary background checks from my understanding.
@@IAmAHeater bruh.
Changed absolutely no one's opinions what so ever, and you aren't going to ram gun control through 50-50 senate. Sorry you won't get to use their corpses to hammer a political agenda.
@@IAmAHeater bro who gives af about your guns... You guys are straight up weirdos, you want guns for what? How often do people with guns actually use them for self defence? You just want a cool gun collection to put on your mantle. You prefer that over the protection of innocent adults and children. America is lost, mentally ill lost nation
@@IAmAHeater who cares dude? A life weighs more than you having to work harder to earn a gun
GREAT SHOW- SO SO SAD -- WE NEED TO DO SOMTHING
Preach! Agreed!
Im so disgusted by Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz.
I would push for more gun user orientation and stricter compliance for gun buyers or users. If there are more compliance for getting a drivers license and driving a car, then it should have the same treatment with gun users. I really advocate for more compelling gun orientations, trainings, gun liability insurance and yearly license renewal for responsible gun usage.
I knew about Steve background. I didnt know about Richards situation. WOW
woah 3 different people in this video have parents that died from gun violence, that's literally 3 out of 5
America Needs To Have A Conversation About Mental Health.
Yes, but most importantly gun restrictions. The most immediate and direct solution by far is to limit access to killing machines.
Steve Kerr was out spoken about removing police from college campuses as well.
2020, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr joined hundreds of parents, students and teachers in Oakland, ca for a rally calling for police to be taken off of Oakland school campuses.
Can't point out the facts, they don't want to hear it
I never understood the gun laws in the US. I’m from the Philippines and we’re far from being a crime-free country. But I never had to worry about things like this happening because we don’t get easy access to firearms in general. This type of situation is so devastating regardless if you have a personal experience with it or not. 😔
its the reason we are one of the greatest countries in the world because of the second amendment. you know nothing about my country stop acting like you do. its not easy for people who arent law abiding citizens to get guns. everyone in this comment section is a clown you should read up on your history before you speak about someones country you know nothing about
It gets tiring to hear people say that it gets tiring to hear people just give their condolences and nothing changes.
This is crazy seeing park and rj both losing parents to gun violence....so sad
People can't do this! I am so pissed right now. Imagine being one of those families. Texas needs to strengthen security, or the worst is yet too come.
Omg KP, the way he said it brought me to tears 😭😭😭
This is a world that evil, cold hearted and ruthless, all of these things will not end until God brings judgement on this earth.
Or, until we pass gun control laws, like other countries have.
Steve Kerr For President…
No thanks
Andrew Yang cares about the people he’s not a politician he’s just well informed and bi-partisan
Yeah, that's just what we need: another mindless, useful idiot of the left.
Hard pass
America is the only country that this kind of thing happens. Its devastating my prayers 🙏 goes out to all the children n teachers killed 😢
I've been fighting tears for last couple of days, but Big Perk got my eyes watering for the last 10 minutes again with the insight about how destroyed the parent of a child that either insisted/made their child go to school that faithful day. Or the parent that denied that child a simple pleasure like a favorite food snack or toy not knowing it was that child's last day on earth. My daughter is not school age yet but my eyes are watering again because who can't sympathize or empathize with that! ...And not to mention I type this at my desk where I've been teaching High School English for well over a decade now.
YESSSSSSSSSS speak factsssssss Kendrick Perkins.
I'm from Paris and I cry when I see him talk like that it's enough enough so sad
Firearm safety needs to be pushed. Not gun control
Whats crazier is the fact that Perk and Richard both had family pass away due to gun violence. Why has this become common? Got to do something!!
As someone who is not from the US, do you know how frightening it is to hear how multiple people at that table lost a loved one to gun violence? To hear the real fear and sadness in Malika's voice for her mother, because teaching is now considered a dangerous profession? To hear that Perk's kids are being homeschooled out of his fear for their safety? How many other viewers are watching and share the same fears? Who are angry, and mourning, and tired? It is truly heartbreaking, and eye-opening for anyone tuning into American news these days, to be made uncomfortably aware of how bad things really are in the US. But as Malika pointed out, inaction isn't the answer, and you can channel that frustration and sadness into something positive. You can have your say and should use your voice to demand that they take action for positive change and public safety. Take it from somebody who does not live in America - you do not need to live like this, tragedy to tragedy, burying children, and always needing to look over your shoulder in public. You do not have to accept what your legislators decide.
Preach brutha KP
ts NOT gun control. It's human control! Who show violent movies , sell violent video games, express violent lyrics on violent videos? Were there mass shootings like this at schools/buildings before the technology I mentioned?
I'm from Australia any my opinion no one should have guns unless they're in the military police or security all like we have over here for farmers gun should not be readily available to whoever wants one. I think America need to implement new laws that unless you can obtain a gun licence have extended background checks and make it so much harder to access a gun you guys are going to continually have this problem in Australia we had a mass shooting Port Arthur massacre and with that our prime minister at the time John Howard had what we called a buy back scheme where you could take your gun in not give your name and hand your guns over as the banning of guns in Australia due to the mass shooting since Port Arthur and since the buyback scheme for the guns we have not had another mass shooting so I definitely think if we can do it in Australia I can't see such an amazing place has America can do the same peace to all love and condolences to the families that have lost so much to this terrible tragedy rest in peace
This is terrible a truly awful situation horrible tragic my ❤️ goes out to all the victims families but here's the awful part nothing will change. It seems to me there's needs to a nationwide movement similar in numbers and as loud as 2020 this stuff can't be and shouldn't be forgotten like Ted Cruz Greg Abbott would like. Now I am lucky as an Irishman I never had worry about such things growing up in my country but no parent or child ever should.
- i wanna buy a beer
- how old are u?
- 18
- get outta here, thats ilegal
- i wanna buy a gun
- how old are you?
- 18
- come right in...
unreal
YOU WORK FOR ESPN
WELL SPOKEN!!
Luv u KP!
Amen Perk
I totally agree with what ever one said, but back around checks isn't good enough. There are too many guns in the streets and who do you think put alot of those guns on the streets? More then half the people who are legally purchase those guns, that's are 2 amendment rights.
These lovely children must of been terrorfic by the shooters and make me wanna just cry
Thank you Steve Kerr enough is enough
Beautiful words Steve Kerr
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Stick to sports and leave politics out of it.
Yet, Kerr and the rest of the nba players are silent when shootings occur in chicago and new york.
I can’t speak for everyone in the NBA, but Steve Kerr has been outspoken about gun violence here in the Bay Area. He and Steph curry have taken part in multiple peace walks through east Oakland as a result of the rising gun violence in the hood here, not just mass shootings
Good point, that's another good reason for more gun control laws.
As long as you have government made “hoods” In America, gun violence, drugs etc is going to continue to happen
this message brought to you by the People's Republic of China
These hypocrites who speak out on social issues are surprisingly SILENT when it comes to China. Too many dollars to go THERE!!
Because they have literally no political power do anything in China, they barely have in it here in their own fkn country.
It's so bad it's funny.. you can buy a automatic assault rifle at 18 but ya can't have a beer until 21.
Steve Kerr has learned from coach Pop
Until something changes, nothing will change. There aren't enough politicians who want to change the system.
At this point the teachers should be able to have weapons. And they also need security as well, sad we’ve come to this but that’s what we gotta do . If I ever have kids I probably won’t put them in public school, sad but that’s what’s gotta happen
Really ESPN... you're going to make this about Steve Kerr speaking out? It's not about him or anyone else speaking out. It's about you, me and others putting the focus and attention on the lawmakers. Even worse...ESPN is cowardly getting the black woman and two black men to put Steve Kerr on a pedestal. Who else can see through all this malarkey. Smh
Steve Kerr sometimes wears a buttoned-up work shirt under his jacket.
you americans say you are the best country in the world then why do you need guns? greatness doesnt need guns.
Yes perk yes
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Wednesday blocked a school safety bill
So u can't buy a bud light at 18, u can't buy a cigarette anymore at 18 but I can buy high powered assault rifles? U shouldn't be able 2 buy a gun til 25
The Problem is we need to teach our children, to stop being bullies in school, then our children wouldn't have to go and get a weapon to kill innocent victims in school shootings or to even have school shootings for that matter because some kids who are bullies don't know how to keep their mouth shut and I blame the parents of those bullies for allowing their kids to bully others around.
And I also blame law enforcement for allowing drugs and weapons to be in our community and I blame our federal government for not doing anything to take weapons out of our community and stop weapons from getting into the hands of our children.
Kendrick is 💯 right about Texas
Finally, a kind of good news.
I am glad that prominent people start speaking up about the whole "more guns = more safety" bs. I just hope that it is not just a one time thing but rather something they truly believe in and also the public needs to put pressure in the senators who block change.
"We live in an empire of lies!!!. These goobers are nothing but a bunch of puppets on string controlled by the same master.
good job by kerr
when did espn become fox news, cnn, NBC, ABC
Malika is soooo🔥🔥
Dam perk, absolutely correct
Facts on facts. You see how they ignored his comment? I was like wow but he hit it on the head righ there.
everything said was right.... and I DO NOT think you have to be affected by gun violence to say this... you have to be empathetic and you will see the path to help the country...
You can't buy cigarettes or alchohal until you're 21, or menthol cigarettes at all, but you can get a gun at 18, and there are the private sale loopholes that allow transfer of weapons without a BG check. Then you can go wipe people off the face of the earth without even getting your hands dirty (like you'd have to do with a knife or othersuch). This is ludicrous. Just really depressing stuff.
What I don’t understand is why don’t we pass laws where to acquire a firearm you need to show yourself to be somewhat responsible. Just like a drivers license, have a test, have an instructor, it’s true this what stop violence but I can’t think that it would hurt.
Steve Kerr thank you for speaking up, but you know as well as anyone words are only words.. there needs to be change it has needed to change years n years ago
bro was legally able to buy a gun before he can legally buy a drink, land of the free I guess
And I bet you and 99% of athletes listen to music that glamorizes gun violence on the regular. 🤡
Yea but when he was asked about China smh half his team probably owns a gun
Fix your own home before you complain about what others are doing.
I don't get this argument Republicans pull out whenever something bad happens in the US and people talk about it, your whataboutism is sickening to say the least.
Yeah, they should just go after every gun so we can have another civil war and get it over with. We still don't know how an unemployed teen bought an ar15. They run $1500 on the cheap side. Not to mention, in order to get in my daughter's school, you have to show ID and then they ask why you're there and then you get buzzed in. And I live in a small podunk town in NY. Public school. I called yesterday and said "ty for locking your doors".
Texas and Florida are the spot bucket of this country
LeEsp is a coward like le36 lmao 😂 le36 even organize to dismantle the police n the rest of the woke nba now look 😂
We need aggressive gun control and better protection for our schools( not more guns). We need closed gate schools with officers checking who is entering the premise, no strangers allowed on or in schools grounds unless they have been called upon be school faculty. This is what other countries do.
AMENNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
Man this had me balling 😭
I'm not an American but it's obvious, for anyone with eyes and a working brain, that nothing will change, because you have politicians that are in it for the power and the money, and politicians that are backed by the gun lobbies, etc. etc. and who will not do the decent, appropriate, moral thing.
In New Zealand, in 2019, we suffered the worst terrorist attack in our small and young country, in a mosque and separate Islamic centre, where 50 people were murdered. And you know what our politicians did? They changed the gun laws, basically immediately! And every politician, across the different parties, agreed to it. Every party, because personal power and money goes out the window, when his sort of thing happens, and the politicians knew, categorically, that if they did not, there would've been an uprising within the communities of NZ.
So many people around the world do not understand why you let your politicians do this, and why they're not truly held accountable. Government of the people, by the people, for the people? No.
There's sadly no end in sight, because you have politicians that are in it purely for themselves...
We don't want any Jacinda type dictators here. You are correct. The second amendment isn't going anywhere, no matter how many crocodile tears phony prats like Steve Kerr cries.
Private citizens are the key to everything we want to improve in this country. Voting is the only way to change and we must take it seriously and cross political lines when we feel it is important enough. If you are a Republican but sick of gun violence and mass shootings, Republican leaders will NEVER ever vote for any gun safety legislation. So vote Democratic if you oppose mass shootings and want to make a immediate dent in the problem.
That's not going to change anything because the criminals are still going to have guns, they don't care about legislation or laws. Bad people will always find a way to do bad things if they're dead set on doing so. Most of the areas that have the highest gun violence are typically blue areas with the the tightest laws already.
Perkins speakin' facts💯
If by "facts" you mean repeating liberal talking points like a puppet, and providing an emotional argument like a woman, then sure.
If you have no voice Malika, we don’t have either. It’s time to set term limits for house and senate
He had no assault rifle the public can't buy assault rifles since 1986
Coach Kerr should partner with Beto O'Rouke in TX.and a solid voice in these crimes against school children and the safety of US citizens. Vote.
