Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr railed against the NRA and politicians on Wednesday night after a reporter asked him to comment on the latest school shooting in Parkland, Florida.
"It doesn't seem to matter to our government that children are being shot to death day after day in schools," Kerr said. "It doesn't seem to matter that people are being shot at a concert, in a movie theater. It's not enough, apparently, to move our leadership, our government, the people running this country to actually do anything. That's demoralizing."
It's not the first time Kerr has made his thoughts known on political issues, having spoken out previously against President Trump's proposed immigration ban last year, as well as offering similar harsh words in the wake of another mass shooting in November 2017, when a gunman entered a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas and killed 26 people.

Kerr finished his message with a call to action aimed at voters across the country.
