Warriors' Kerr: School shootings are 'part of our culture now'

After another unfortunate mass shooting in the U.S., Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has once again called for tighter gun laws.

"It never surprises me anymore," Kerr said, according to Logan Murdock of The Mercury News. "This is a part of our culture now. We need to have laws in place in every state that your guns need to be locked up."

The shooting in question occurred Friday at a high school in Sante Fe, Texas, leaving 10 dead and 13 wounded. The shooter was identified as a 17-year-old student who used his father's shotgun and revolver, according to authorities.

"The fact that there is no law against that (easily accessible firearms in a private dwelling) and 10 people were killed and maybe those 10 people wouldn't be killed if the father had locked up the guns," Kerr said. "It's pretty obvious, let's make that a law. It's not infringing on anybody's Second Amendment rights.

"We don't hand the keys to a car when a kid gets to be 16. We make him go through driver's ed; we make him pass a test, we make him get a license, you keep a database on that person, you register the car. We need to do all the same things with guns and if we do that, we'll save lives and anybody who's going to argue with that, I would say, 'Imagine if it was your kid who doesn't come back from a school shooting.' Maybe you'll agree that schools should have more safety laws in place."
