Steve Kerr says gun violence a public-health issue

In the wake of another mass shooting, at a small Baptist church in rural Texas, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr spoke passionately Monday night about finding a way to curtail gun violence in the United States.

“To solve it, I think we almost have to look at it like a public-health issue,” Kerr said before Golden State’s game against Miami at Oracle Arena. “Too often, we get caught up in political rhetoric, Second Amendment rights, NRA stuff. We have to look at this as it having nothing to do with partisanship, political parties. It’s got to be a public-safety issue, a public-health issue.
