Guns aren’t violent, people are.

What’s your next question, Steve?

“Gun violence” is caused by criminals, not a government, such as the Chinese government.

Also, Americans use firearms to protect themselves one million times a year, and it’s an inalienable right.

Beyond that, it is not the government that is contributing to gun violence. Well at least at this point in time. 8>)

Is there something wrong with Steve Kerr? He gets more stupid every week.

Guns aren’t violent, people are.

Guns aren’t violent. Governments with disarmed subjects are.

I wish I could agree, but I can’t.

Governments aren’t violent either, but the people within them certainly can be.

It’s a foolish practice to assign human characteristics to the things that we create.

All of the Good, and all of the Evil in this world operates by way of the human hand.

Kerr has always been a self-righteous, virtue signaling jackass.

If you know about Kerr’s father then you know that liberalism is a mental disorder.

Nobody who has seen authoritarianism, religious or otherwise, first-hand could take a blame-America stance unless seriously disturbed.

If Steve Kerr was in SportsWorld in Germany in 1939, we know pretty well that he would be among those that would look the other way at best, because opposing Hitler could interfere with his income. Malevolent dictators happen because of all the Steve Kerrs in the world.

I understand your point, but I also understand Sirius Lee’s point.

Government can serve as a “force multiplier” which gives it an evil far out of proportion to what a single man or small group of evil men can do.

I see your point, but also see the distinction.

Steve Kerr I can ignore, what I can’t ignore are threads about the NFL or the NBA. Why would so called conservatives waste their time on these people?

Proof you don’t have to be a genius to excel in sports.

It’s definitely a force multiplier, especially considering unlimited resources and military might.

Government is the machinery of control, and it is an electromagnet to the very worst examples of Mankind.

He should go live in China. Maybe then he would appreciate what he had.

The Chinese Communists under Mao murdered upwards of 65 million of their own people.

This far exceeds the "gun violence" statistics in the US.

“’Gun violence’ is caused by criminals, not a government, such as the Chinese government.”

And that it would take American criminals (along with the token few Adam Lanzas and Dylan Klebolds) many, many centuries to equal the number of people murdered by Mao Zedong’s government from 1949 to 1976 (Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution, etc).

I’m wondering what kind of ‘gun violence’ will be happening in Cali with the lights out. Perfect excuse for the governor to declare an emergency and activate the guard for house to house searches.
