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.”

Only if it was made before 1986, and only if you can make it through the NFA gauntlet. Also, brings lots of $$$.

Whoops thought he was a politician
😂👍
Does this matter more than my opinion about coaching basketball ?
Who is talking about “automatic weapons”, Mike? I would expect better from a West Point guy. You should at least know the difference between automatic (which requires a very hard to get FFL) and semi-automatic (which are completely legal).
Aren’t automatic firearms illegal? 🙄
but the serfs, we need to just be victims.....
I am so tired of the filthy rich telling we peons how we should die....
I sat just a few rows behind his bench at Cameron for a couple seasons.
The ways he would “speak” to his ‘college athletes’ would make a sailor blush.
Hes tired, so passing more laws will give him some rest
See link in post 90 above.
Fully semi automatic and sounds like a cannon.
I didn't hear his opinion on how disgusting it is to want to riot and burn down cities as directed by the Democrat Party.
Thanks.
The coach must think an AR-15 is an automatic, though.
I am quick to tell them...I've shot a few automatic weapons..but nearly the most fun I've had was shooting a Uzi....
They all say those are ILLEGAL!! Ha!!
They are not illegal, but very hard to get and very expensive!!!
Most people in American think a AR-15 is an automatic gun....and it is NOT. In that case my pistols are auto-matics..........but I have to pull the trigger each time.
I'm weary of the stupid.
He can talk all he wants. I don’t care.
No one is changing the constitution. And no one is collecting firearms.
