Former Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski told ESPNU’s Sirius XM radio that the desire to own an “automatic weapon” is “disgusting.”
Krzyzewski said Golden State Warriors’ Steve Kerr was “right on” for making comments about gun control.
Breitbart News reported that Kerr pushed more gun control after the May 24, 2022, Uvalde, Texas, school shooting.
“When are we going to do something!” exclaimed Kerr. “I’m tired, I’m so tired of getting up here and then offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there and I’m so tired of the moments of silence. Enough!”
He specifically pointed to background checks, saying, “There are 50 senators right now who refuse to vote on HR8, which is a background check rule that the House passed a couple of years ago. It has been sitting there for two years and there was a reason why they won’t vote on it.”
Kerr did not mention that the Uvalde shooter bought his gun at retail, which means a background check was already required for the purchase.
Krzyzewski said Kerr has the right to say what he said.
Minutes later, in ESPNU Radio interview, Krzyzewski alluded to the House and Senate, saying, “Their first and foremost responsibility is to serve the people.”
He stayed on the topic of Congress, saying, “The people that are suffering are people that need you. Like, why don’t you? Come on. You know? What the hell are we doing? You know, we’re not taking care of our people. And we can go into the guns. Like, you need an automatic weapon? You gotta be kidding me. You got to be kidding me. It’s disgusting.”

FU Mike
Hey RatFace
Howd those last two games v Carolina go for ya?
Maybe Mikey should cuddle with Lebron to make himself feel better.
He did graduate from West Point and was a protege of Bobby Knight. I guess being at liberal Duke all those years “woke” him.
the desire to own an “automatic weapon” is “disgusting.”
I can carry 10 single shot guns or have 10 friends with one single shot. Is that ok with them?
When you talk about what someone should or should not be able to have, you’ve made the case for the 2nd amendment…
Another former Army officer/West Point graduate who fails to understand history or honor the oath he took to the Constitution all those years ago. I find him to be disgusting!
Then why does the Secret Service use them?
Lord help us from these “servants of the people.”
Not with people like him around. I almost feel ashamed to unleash an automatic weapon on him.
Coach K’s exploitation of young black men for personal gain for 40 years was disgusting.
Remind me.
What have Mike and Steve said about the “school” sized shootings in Chicago?
Limousine Riding Liberals!
I bet Ukrainians wished that they all had a lot more automatic weapons before the Russians invaded.
Is that disgusting too, Mike?
I've expected Coach K to be smarter than this. He should be more specific "we should ban powerful weapons like AR-15s". He said the desire to own an automatic weapon is disgusting? He sounded emotional with those words.
But the AR-15 is not automatic...one trigger pull equals one round fired. And for that matter today's M-16 has been modified so it only fires three rounds per trigger pull when on "auto".
It is easier for criminals to acquire weapons now, than it was for someone to get a shot of bootleg whiskey in the roaring twenties.
