Whenever a mass shooting takes place, you can always count on San Antonio Spurs head coach Grep Popovich to rage against conservatives for upholding the Second Amendment right to own firearms, and to say why guns aren't necessary in the first place.
On Easter Sunday, he didn’t disappoint.
Before his squad’s 138-117 win over the Dallas Mavericks, Popovich used his final 10 minutes of pre-game media availability to lecture reporters on why guns are bad. According to Outkick, within those 10 minutes, Popovich did all of the following:
Asked Dallas-based reporters whether they had firearms on them ahead of his tirade to criticize Texas’ stance on gun ownership.
Called out Republican politicians Jim Jordan, Marsha Blackburn, Bill Lee and Lindsey Graham, and at one point called them “cowards.”
Supported gun reform advocates / Tennessee Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, and called the black Dems’ opponents “Jim Crow” enthusiasts.
Regarding Covenant shooting: “What are you going to assist with, cleaning up their brains off the wall, wiping the blood off the schoolroom floor?”
Here’s just a brief clip of the senile coach angrily spinning this narrative to support gun control and make conservatives seem like the bane of human existence.

Nothing like hearing a basketball personality deliver a lecture about gun ownership on Easter.
Popovich is the winningest coach in NBA history and is widely respected by his peers and players alike. If only some of his success on the court could be translated to how he views the world.
