Shaq: ‘We Need More Cops in Schools, Not Gun Ban’

Shaquille O’Neal is not only a permanent feature in the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame, but he is also active within the community, including the law enforcement community. Shaq, as he is famously known, believes there is a solution for gun violence in schools and banning guns isn’t it. He asserted that we need more police presence in schools.

“Two things that have never mixed are children and guns,” O’Neal continued, ” … Something has to be done. You hear a lot of people talking about getting these guns off the streets. Only problem with that is there’s 15 million of them out there already on the streets. Another problem is, if you ban them, then you’re going to create an underground market, and the gun collectors are going to become more valuable.”

He said, “I think the quick fix now, the government should give law enforcement more money. Give more money, recruit more people, and the guys that are not ready to go in the streets, you put them in front of the schools. You put them in front of the schools, you put them behind the schools, you put them inside the schools.”

USA Today reports: 

O’Neal voiced his support on social media for March For Our Lives — marches on the streets of Washington, D.C. and throughout the world during which the participants will “demand that their lives and safety become a priority, and that we end gun violence in our schools and communities.”

The marches, set for later this month, were organized by students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School as a response to last month’s deadly shooting.

“Hopefully it sends a message to the powers that be,” Shaq concluded, “We have to stop this. I mean, I would like to see tougher background checks. It was just a sad incident. I really feel for the parents. Imagine being a parent going to work and you get a call that your baby was gunned down for no reason. At all. … The children are the future.”

He added, “We have to protect our children. And if you can’t protect our children, in school, where are they safe?”

“Take responsibility. This president says it’s not his responsibility. The federal government’s role is [to] have a national response to tackle this national pandemic. But Donald Trump took no responsibility, failed and continues to fail to do that,” Biden said, accusing President Donald Trump of “downplaying” the virus.
