I don't own a gun because I have a volatile personality...and I might use it on jerkoffs who piss me off...and there are many out there. Unlike Williams, I never thought they were toys.
I do believe people without issues should have the right to own guns. The Bloombergs of the world fight to keep guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens...while surrounding themselves with bodyguards.
You don't need a gun to kill someone. My grandfather was murdered.
As far as a "kid with no father", it happens, but not in this case. Williams' victim was 55...and eight of his child bearing years were spent in prison. To his great credit, he turned his life around which makes his death all the sadder. Hopefully, Williams life has also turned around. I hope Jordan also turns his life around. It happens.
I don't know how education made it into the argument...but Williams donated one million dollars to St John's...much more than any other player. There are two sides to every person.
