OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has blasted the government's response to mass shootings in the wake of the massacre that unfolded at a Florida school on Wednesday. Before the Warriors played the Portland Trail Blazers Wednesday, Kerr told reporters "nothing has been done" to prevent deadly shootings from happening.

"It doesn't seem to matter to our government that children are being shot to death day after day in schools," he said. "It doesn't matter that people are being shot at a concert, in a movie theater. It's not enough, apparently, to move our leadership, our government, people that are running this country, to actually do anything. That's demoralizing."

"But we can do something about it," Kerr continued. "We can vote people in who actually have the courage to protect people's lives, and not just bow down to the NRA because they've financed their campaign for them. Hopefully we can find enough people with courage to help our citizens remain safe and focus on the real safety issues ... actually protecting us from what truly is dangerous, which is maniacs with semi-automatic weapons just slaughtering our children. It's disgusting."
