On Tuesday (May 25) 18-year-old Salvador Ramos used an AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle and massacred 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school in Texas. Reportedly, he had legally bought two rifles just days before the tragedy. Ramos was killed on the scene by officers.

Golden State Warriors Coach Steve Kerr delivered a powerful message during his pregame interview on gun control after the Texas school shooting took place. While filled with emotion, Kerr said in part,

Moved by his coach’s remarks, NBA star Steph Curry reposted Steve Kerr’s powerful speech and advised fans to watch it. Curry wrote,
