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.”

The desire is disgusting because they are so damn expensive now thanks to the preserved government.
But tossing a ball through a steel hoop is meaningful and noble?
Nope; you may have them with PERMISSION and must PAY huge fees if approved.
Most of us don’t have automatic rifles.
Less "Spray and Pray" waste of ammo that way.
No, that fellow was dismissed from the US Army. That is like being fired in the private sector. Unusual but it does happen regularly. It took some pushing inside the Army but there were enough generals who were really infuriated by that photo to not let go.
Not illegal on federal level but hoops and a tax. Illegal in some states.
It’s not disgusting, but it does cost $200 for the tax stamp, takes a year, and most people can’t afford the price of the weapon.
I think the desire to murder your own baby in the womb is DISGUSTING
I say every celebrity, news reporter, congress critter, senator, and president who does NOT like guns should get rid of their armed security, get rid of their guns..since they hate them so much no need for them right, let them carry bananas instead
Superdead is the worst kind of dead.
Uh, no they are not illegal. Just about anyone can legally have one with the right money and paperwork.
Mikey must have never been in the military. Been playing with balls all of his worthless life. Now that’s disgusting. Bouncing a ball and throwing it at a round hoop. That’s some dumb stuff, IMHO.
Nope. Restricted but not banned. Legal in quite a few states but paperwork is time consuming and the cost of full auto has gotten really high. Need to be 1986 or older builds now. More info here:

Hey dumbass Coach K, I too desire to own an automatic weapon, but I can’t. Therefore, I own a semi-automatic.
Which is more serious? Doubledead or Superdead.
I’ve had no use for Coach K since he threw the Duke lacrosse guys under the bus.
Go Tarheels!
This type of person in public office is what is disgusting.
