Nanawagan si Lebron James para sa mas mahigpit na US gun laws nitong Miyerkules, Disyembre 6, matapos ang pamamaril sa Las Vegas college campus na ikinasawi ng tatlong katao habang naghahanda ang lungsod ng Nevada sa in-season tournament finale ng NBA.
“First of all, my condolences go to the families that lost loved ones, families and friends and everything. It just goes back to what I said before about guns in America. I think it’s such a longer conversation, but we keep dealing with the same story, this same conversation everybody single time it happens, and it just continues to happen,” sabi ni Lebron James.
“The ability to get a gun, the ability to do these things over and over and over, and there’s been no change, is literally ridiculous,” sabi ni Lebron.
“It makes no sense that we continue to lose innocent lives, on campuses, schools, at shopping markets and movie theaters,” ani ni Lebron. “It’s ridiculous. The fact that we haven’t changed anything — it’s actually been easier to be able to own a firearm. It’s stupid.”
Si Lebron ay madalas na sumabak sa debate sa US gun control sa mga nakaraang taon, lalo na pagkatapos ng pamamaril noong 2018 sa isang bar sa Thousand Oaks, California, na ikinasawi ng 12 katao.
