One of the most recognizable and influential athletes on the planet has made his stance on gun violence clear.
"There's no room for guns," Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James said Friday, in reaction to separate shooting-related deaths Thursday, one in Cleveland and several at a college campus in Oregon.

One would doubt he goes around without armed security.
“when will you turn in all your guns james?” “will you only use security that doesnt carry guns?”
Oooo, a celebrity has an opinion. Let’s listen!
Spoken by a millionaire ball player with his hired armed guards who follow him around and he lives in a gated compound guarded by armed guards. Come on back to the “hood” Leebrone and remember how it was when you live in the hood. Guns a plenty with the gangs. Now you are rich by throwing a leather ball through a round iron ring. Go figure.
“As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives [only] moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun, therefore, be the constant companion to your walks.”
— Thomas Jefferson, writing to his teenaged nephew.

“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government”
— Thomas Jefferson, 1 Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

“The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that’s good”

Ten young black men are murdered every weekend in Chicago. Where’s the outrage?
Time to run DNA comparison tests?
OK Ledouche then get rid of YOUR armed guards that follow you around 24/7 keeping your stupid a@@ safe than we can talk.
His blathering? “T’is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
Ditto. Haven’t watched NFL or NBA since 1993.
Lebron James = Silly Negro with lots of money
Has to be a joke about pisstol grip there somewhere.
So, by straightforward logical extension, LeBron believes there's "no room" for blacks to own guns.
In doing so, LeBron is in staunch historical agreement with racist individuals and their associated representatives in government at all levels in this country, who have sought to deny gun possession on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, etc.
LeBron is therefore loudly proclaiming his ignorance, which encompasses the lack of even a rudimentary understanding of human freedom, the right to individual and collective self-defense, the nature of state power, the history of slavery, etc.
Stick to your day job of putting an inflated ball through a netted hoop, Lebron, because you're doing both the American People and your own race a shameful disservice with your mushroom-like awareness regarding Unalienable Rights.
That would be an understatement of Biblical proportions.
Which would make it an ASSault weapon.
I have plenty of room for guns if anybody wants to send them my way......

Yeah, whenever I need good advice on a tough business, political, or ethics decision, I always pick up the phone and call an athlete or a movie star.
Yeah, whatever Labro.
His opinion means as much as the drunk guys at the end of the bar who doesn’t quite make it to the bathroom.
I have room for them. Bring them on by. Free storage!
