Obviously gun control first and foremost, because the fact that that's even possible for somebody to to have an attack like that. But just moreso you want to (see) positivity and hope. It sounds cheesy, but it's real. That's when our country's at its best and it just adds another blemish to what's going on. So sad is just the word.

Just a terrible sad spectacle. Two people dying, it’s such a demoralizing day for our country. It’s yet another example of not only our political division but also our gun culture, a 20-year-old with an AR-15 trying to shoot the former president. It’s hard to process everything and it’s scary to think about where this goes.
Steve Kerr said
