Chipper Jones will be enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame in July, but he’s not keeping his public statements to just baseball. The former Atlanta Braves third baseman and avid hunter shared his thoughts on gun control with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Sunday and it won’t surprise you to find out that he has some strong opinions — but not the one you might think.

Opinions are like a-holes, everybody’s got ‘em.

[hadaclueonce]

Mr. Yesterday still trying to matter.
Nothing to see here.

In a little over 2 weeks, the next FReepathon will begin.

Come on FReepers, let’s do this!!!

What’s an assault rifle?

[jospehm20]

Nobody cares what I think either.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Never heard of him.

And, Yahoo Sports, they’re called semi-automatic rifles.

[BobL]

If he gets spanking right, there’s hope for him.

STFU Chip

Chip was a good baseball player.

He was the reason why the 1995 Braves won the ‘95 World Series.

Adding to the list of people, among whom are Kids, politicians and Journalists, who need to GTFO our lives and worry about theirs. We don’t need an dull ex-Jockstrap patronizing anybody and sputtering idiocy.

Good ball player, on the constitution... not so much.

[mylife]

Australia just made folks felons for owning a 5 rd bolt action gun because it looks to assault

WTF?

[mylife]

assualty.

is that even a word?

WTF?

[ealgeone]

Yes...we should take the opinion of someone, who if they are really good, is only successful in one of three attempts at something.

Yeah, yeah....I know....hitting a 90+ mph baseball is tough.

[Simon Green]

So...an athlete reveals himself to be a Fudd.

Big deal.

There’s a crazy guy who stands in the side of the road and yells at traffic on my normal route to work. Has any news source asked his opinion of “assault rifles?” Why does Chipper Jones opinion matter any more than that guy’s?
