LeBron James is in the news tonight after he declared there’s “no room for guns” in the wake of yesterday’s deadly shooting in Oregon and an equally awful incident in Cleveland where a 5-month-old girl was killed in a drive-by:
'There's no room for guns.'
Thank you @KingJames.http://t.co/lCM2PdR58T— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 2, 2015
Here’s the entire qutoe from the AP:
“Four kids under the age of five or six years old have been shot and killed or very badly injured,” James said. “There’s no room for that. There’s no room for guns, first of all, but then for violence toward kids or anybody. I see the news go across my phone and I’m sitting there in front of my three kids, so it automatically just hit me.
“It’s not just in Cleveland, it’s the whole nation that goes through this as well. We all hurt from it.”
And earlier James tweeted this out:
Like seriously man!!!! A baby shot in the chest in Cleveland. It's been out of control but it's really OOC. Ya'll need to chill the F out.

C'mon man let's do and be better! Don't fall into the trap. This can't be only way. Accept more from yourselves. #TheLand #TheNation

Okay, but…
Does this mean LeBron James will give up his hobby shooting machine guns?
Or his “pistol celebration”?

When LeBron James addresses his own (and the NBA’s) dedication to gun culture, let us know and then we’ll consider what he has to say on gun control.
