Arenas Admits He Should Be Punished

What a difference a week makes. While many have written about the NBA’s Gilbert Arenas and noted that there is a culture of “guns” in the world of sports, few have spoken out against Lil’ Wayne (who is finally behind bars where he belongs). What makes this different is that Arenas admits he was in the wrong for pulling a gun on a teammate and agrees that he should be punished.

We’re also expecting the anti-gun crowd to go nuts when they hear he has a collection of firearms that includes as many as 500 pieces, many from World War I. Arenas had said that he bought the collection from an older collector, and has most of it in storage.

Let’s hope that Arenas is punished accordingly, but let us also hope that those guns aren’t seized and destroyed. Those, like many athletes, should be viewed as American treasures.
