DALLAS, TEXAS – MAY 24: Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr talks about
gun violence during a press conference before Game 4 of their NBA Western
Conference Finals playoff game against the Dallas Mavericks at the American
Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, on Tuesday, May 24, 2022. (Nhat V. Meyer/Bay
Area News Group)

PUBLISHED: May 24, 2022 at 4:49 p.m. | UPDATED: May 24, 2022 at 6:50 p.m.

DALLAS — Coach Steve Kerr, one of the NBA’s leading voices on social issues,
gave another emotional plea for gun control after at least 18 children and three
adults were shot and killed Tuesday at a Texas elementary school just hours
before Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.

Shaking with rage and appearing to be on the verge of tears, Kerr said he was
“fed up” after 18-year-old gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School in
Uvalde, Texas, about 350 miles south of Dallas, resulting in the deadliest
shooting at a U.S. grade school in almost a decade.

“When are we going to do something?” Kerr said, raising his voice and slamming
his hands on the table in frustration. “I’m tired. I’m so tired of getting up
here and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there.”

The Warriors coach took aim at politicians who refuse to pass a bipartisan law
that would make background checks mandatory for every gun sale.



“They won’t vote on it because they want to hold onto their own power,” Kerr
said. “It’s pathetic. I’ve had enough.”

The bill mentioned by Kerr, HR8, is sponsored by U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson and has
been passed by the House, but remains in the Senate. Kerr called out U.S. Senate
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and other senators who refuse to address the gun
violence epidemic plaguing the nation.

“I ask you: Are you going to put your own desire for power ahead of the lives of
our children and our elderly and our churchgoers? Because that’s what it looks
like. That’s what we do every week,” Kerr said.

The death toll rose Tuesday evening to 18 children and three adults. Another
three people wounded in the attack are hospitalized in serious condition,
Associated Press reported. It was the deadliest shooting at an elementary school
since 2012 when a gunmen killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook
Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. And it came just eight days after a gunman
killed one person and wounded five people at a Taiwanese church in Southern
California, and 10 days after a gunman in body armor killed 10 Black shoppers
and workers at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York.

The devastating news hits close to home for Kerr, who lost his own father to gun
violence. Malcolm Kerr, a university professor and president of the American
University of Beirut, was fatally shot outside his office in Lebanon Jan. 18,
1984, when Steve was 18.



“I’ve had enough,” Kerr said. “We’re going to play the game tonight. But I want
every person here, every person listening to this, to think about your own child
or grandchild, mother or father, sister, brother. How would you feel if this
happened to you today?

“We can’t get numb to this.”

Mavericks coach Jason Kidd also opened his pre-game news conference offering
condolence to those affected by the shooting, which he said he learned about
when he got to American Airlines Center.

“We’ll keep [the victims and their families] in our hearts,” Kidd said. “We
truly will play with heavy hearts tonight for the community, for the school of
Robb Elementary School. Tough.”

Facing elimination, Kidd said it’ll be challenging to focus on playing
basketball when the Texas community is reeling.

“As coaches or fathers, we have kids. People in this room have kids. Elementary
school. You just think about what could take place with any of your family or
friends at a school,” he said. “This is on-the-run job training. We’re going to
try to play the game. We have no choice. The game is not going to be canceled.
But we have to find a way to be pro, find a way to win, and move forward.

“But the news of what’s happening, not just here in Texas but throughout our
country, is sad.”

Here’s the full transcript of Kerr’s pre-game availability:

“I’m not going to talk about basketball. Nothing’s happened with our team in the
last six hours. We’re going to start the same way tonight. Any basketball
questions don’t matter.

“Since we left shootaround, 14 children were killed 400 miles from here, and a
teacher. In the last 10 days, we’ve had elderly black people killed in a
supermarket in Buffalo, we’ve had Asian churchgoers killed in Southern
California, now we have children murdered at school.

“When are we going to do something? I’m tired. I’m so tired of getting up here
and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there. I’m so
tired. Excuse me. I’m sorry. I’m tired of the moments of silence. Enough.

“There’s 50 Senators right now who refuse to vote on HR8, which is a background
check rule that the House passed a couple years ago. It’s been sitting there for
two years. There’s a reason they won’t vote on it: to hold onto power.

“I ask you, Mitch McConnell, all of you Senators who refuse to do anything about
the violence, school shootings, supermarket shootings, I ask you: Are you going
to put your own desire for power ahead of the lives of our children and our
elderly and our churchgoers? Because that’s what it looks like. That’s what we
do every week.

“So I’m fed up. I’ve had enough. We’re going to play the game tonight. But I
want every person here, every person listening to this, to think about your own
child or grandchild, mother or father, sister, brother. How would you feel if
this happened to you today?

“We can’t get numb to this. We can’t sit here and just read about it and go,
well, let’s have a moment of silence. Go Dubs. C’mon, Mavs, let’s go. That’s
what we’re going to do. We’re going to go play a basketball game.

“Fifty Senators in Washington are going to hold us hostage. Do you realize that
90 percent of Americans, regardless of political party, want background checks,
universal background checks? Ninety percent of us. We are being held hostage by
50 Senators in Washington who refuse to even put it to a vote, despite what we
the American people want.

“They won’t vote on it because they want to hold onto their own power. It’s
pathetic. I’ve had enough.”
