Gregg Popovich asked whether any of us were carrying guns at the end of his pregame media chat.
"I just wondered because we have a governor and lieutenant governor and an attorney general that made it easier to have more guns. That was a response to our kids getting murdered.”

R.I.P. Bob "crazybob" Lee. His killing was tragic, senseless, and incomprehensible (to me). He was only 43 years old, and so full of life. He was a dear, dear friend. My heart goes out to Krista and the kids. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/cas…

We are failing our children. Guns are now the leading cause of death for children in the U.S.
Michelle and I mourn with the students and families of the Covenant School today.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the CDC, accidents are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents.
The claim that guns are the leading cause of death for children would only be true if children under 1 are excluded and 18 and 19 year olds are counted as children.
