Steve Kerr, the Golden State Warriors coach who’s made a career out of lecturing America on gun control while ignoring the nuances of self-defense and crime stats, just handed the 2A community a golden opportunity on a silver platter. In a fiery rant, Kerr blasted the government for allegedly lying about a fatal shooting by an ICE agent, calling it shameful that law enforcement officers can commit murder while the feds cover it up. This isn’t some abstract gripe—Kerr’s invoking the same outrage over police misconduct that 2A advocates have wielded for years against anti-gun narratives. Remember how Kerr’s crew at Giffords and Everytown twists every cop-involved shooting into a call for confiscation? Now he’s validating the exact skepticism that fuels our resistance to government overreach.
The irony is thicker than Warriors playoff hopes: Kerr, who parrots stats on gun violence while glossing over the 90%+ of murders committed by criminals with illegal firearms (per FBI data), is now raging against a system that protects its own. This ICE incident—where an agent reportedly shot a suspect and the government’s initial story unraveled—mirrors countless defensive gun use cases dismissed as stand-your-ground vigilantism. For the 2A community, it’s a teachable moment: if even Kerr admits the state lies and cops can cross lines, why trust them to wield unchecked power over our rights? Hypocrisy alert—Kerr’s silence on migrant crime waves in sanctuary cities (where illegal guns flow freely) underscores how selective his common-sense reforms really are.
Bottom line for gun owners: weaponize this. Kerr’s outburst erodes the moral high ground of gun-grabbers who demand blind faith in government monopolies on force. It bolsters our case that an armed populace isn’t a bug—it’s the feature checking tyrannical impulses, from ICE fumbles to ATF door-kicks. Share this far and wide; let Kerr’s words become our meme ammo in the culture war. The coach just scored an own-goal for Team Liberty.
