Firing Back: Multiple News Stories Miss Point on NBA Gun Incident

While it still isn’t entirely clear what transpired between NBA players Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton in the locker room, what is known is that firearms were involved. Regardless, the issue is that this is yet another example of the rich and semi-famous getting a different level of standards when it comes to firearm ownership and possession.

Firearms aren’t toys, and whether Arenas was joking when he “challenged” Crittenton to a duel is a moot point. The real issue is that Washington, D.C. is a city where gun ownership is closely controlled – yet these millionaires brandish firearms as it is just so much more “bling.” And that’s just bad news for those law-abiding citizens who actually respect the guns they hold in their hands.
