1. Let me help you out

Former Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski recently expressed his thoughts on gun reform in America following last week’s mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Tex., which left 21 people dead including 19 children.

Coach K held a public viewing of his latest SiriusXM radio episode at Cameron Indoor Stadium’s Champions Club on Thursday night. During the discussion, he brought up his disappointment in the lack of change regarding gun control.

“You shouldn’t vote for the party, you should vote for the people that you serve,” Krzyzewski said, via The News & Observer. “And you should have the guts, the courage, and it’s your duty. It’s your duty to do that. We are not doing that duty at the national level when our country is suffering greatly from it.”

“For us to see these kids get killed, members of our African American community get killed in a grocery store, members of our Jewish community getting killed in a synagogue (in a 2018 Pittsburgh shooting),” Krzyzewski said. “Come on. That’s not right. That’s not right. That’s not right. I mean it’s amazingly wrong. It’s amazingly wrong. And you should be ashamed of yourself, if you are in a position of power.”
