Now was that 2nd or
3rd amendment?
Don’t take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Stephen Jackson
Don’t take your guns to town
It’s sad when you actually have to remind your players like David Stern did that you shouldn’t be carrying around a gun.
It’s a pretty, I think, widely accepted statistic that if you carry a gun, your chances of being shot by one increase dramatically. We think this is an alarming subject, that although you’ll read players saying how they feel safer with guns, in fact those guns actually make them less safe. And it’s a real issue.
The latest collective bargaining agreement prohibits players from bringing a gun to the arena, a practice facility or a team or league offsite promotional appearance. The fact that is specifically says you shouldn’t bring a gun to a promotional appearance means that perhaps in one of those NBA Cares ads, a player is packing heat while reading Dr. Seuss to a bunch of 3rd graders. Image problem? Nahhh..the NBA doesn’t have an image problem.
