“The NBA star, who has never shied away from political issues, spoke after practice Friday about the need for stricter national gun laws.”
This is not a political issue. Gun violence is a SOCIAL ISSUE, its roots mostly founded in America’s expanding and shameful *National Epidemic of Child Abuse and Neglect,* aka *Poverty*, that for decades has deprived untold numbers of depressed children from experiencing and enjoying a safe, fairly happy American kid childhood.
Children who develop into angry, frustrated, unpredictable, emotionally depressed teens and adults lacking empathy and compassion for their peaceful neighbors, because their lives suck so why shouldn’t their lives suck too!
You what also sucks, young immature teen girls and women creating life before acquiring the skills, PATIENCE and means to properly raise, nurture and supervise a developing young child who matures into a fairly happy teen and adult enjoying safe streets to play on or travel.
And what sucks even more is when young immature teen moms are held blameless for failing and emotionally harming their children...while the police are charged with protecting peaceful people from depressed, angry, frustrated, unpredictable teens and adults who were victims of EARLY childhood abuse and/or neglect at the hands of immature, impatient teen girls and young women.
Reducing gun violence will ONLY be accomplished when we recognize and take action to reduce Early Child Abuse and Neglect that causes many children to mature into depressed, angry, frustrated, unpredictable sometimes suicidal teens and adults.

There is no such thing as Gun Violence; it is another invented term by the left.
There is people violence. Guns do not have the ability to shoot themselves.
What a poorly written article.
