That is sad. There are far too many morons with guns in this country. They think they're cool and tough with a gun yet don't know a thing about being a real man.

So well said, I teach in a city school and I'm so sick of what kids today think of as tough. Bunch of loud noisemakers that won't do anything, but grow a few years and get a gun and suddenly you're a man... I'm big on the Bill of Rights but there are too many idiots now, we need to get back to that old school ish where you can just throw down like a real man and win or lose, it's over and you get on with life. With weapons someone may not get on with life. Sorry to vent about this, nothing to do with the Knicks just sick of all the bad shit in the world
